I was thinking of those great raised pedestals like they sell in those expensive magazines.


I think I could make one with the same bun feel.


The first thing I had to do was to fill in that hole in the center.


Filling a hole with a dowel and wood filler


I sliced off the peg end from the spindle that originally sat in that hole, then filled the center of that with a dowel. 

I used wood filler and sanded it completely flat... as an after thought I should have stained the center dowel to match the oak.

I found a great image from Graphics Fairy, Mod Podged it onto the piece, let it dry and rubbed off the paper.

This process is explained here and here.

I gave it a coat of polyurethane for protection.

It made an awesome raised table pedestal with bun feet!
