Project Information
I wanted to try something different with metal and wood and after I made the legs I needed to make a table top - this is the result. The legs have 1/4" bar stock through the wood and bent at the top and bottom for support and attachment to the top. The wood on the the leg is a reclaimed 2×4 from a house built in 1918 - the metal is from Home Depot, in 2017. I like the look of this and tried it with the legs switched so they were alternating, but it really didn't look right to me - it seemed unbalanced.
The top has 3 pieces of reclaimed barn wood siding from Farmington, NY in the center. It is surrounded by 5/4 pine that I burned using a propane weed burner from harbor freight. In case you didn't know - those things put out some serious fire! I rally just wanted to try it out and this seemed as good a reason as any. I scrubbed it down with a wire brush after it cooled and then the whole thing was sprayed with lacquer
Over all, it's not my favorite look in a table, but I think both of these options are pretty cool!
