Reclaimed Coffee Table

It did indeed turn out nice. I like that. What was it reclaimed from? did you have to mill the edges or plane it at all? if so, hand tools or power tools. Tell us more!

As a first table you’ve managed to do a great job, compliments.

Well done! Great design and build.

Thanks everyone! The top is simply cedar fence boards. The edges were finished by just taking my orbital sander to it at and angle, i wanted it to have a rustic worn look. I think with the grey combination it has that. I had built some other pieces before this, but it was poorly put together in my opinion. Just recently have I had the right tools to do proper joints without wood putty and countersinking screws. I’ve been slowly learning how to put things together in aesthetic manner. My next project is going to be a dresser/baby changing table. Hoping to keep that same look and feel. I recently posted photos of a TV stand that I built.

Very Nice and Well done! Thanks for Posting.
