In the Works...

Here's a drawing of the armoire I alluded to in my last post. The final product will look roughly like this, but when you're working with reclaimed wood, you're always prepared to make changes. I'm using windows for the armoire doors and siding on the sides and inset in the drawer fronts.

Heart Pine Coffee Table Revisited

Here's the coffee table my last post was about in it's new home. 

I'm working on an armoire right now made entirely of reclaimed wood. It's gonna take me a long time to finish but I'll get it up as soon as I finish.

Heart Pine Coffee Table

This is a coffee table my mom had me make:

The top is left over heart pine flooring from our house in Jackson and the legs are balusters from the Raymond wood reclamation. The top is just stained and sanded with polyurethane on top and I did the legs much like the hutch with the weathered look. I stained them and then painted them white on top. After that I randomly sanded them and finished off with a coat of polyurethane to make the background wood pop.

Below are a few pictures of the process:

Original baluster on the right and coffee table leg on the right.

Underside before legs and apron rail were attached

Top immediately after staining and before sanding

Underside after legs and apron rail were painted, sanded, and attached.

Final Product

With the heart pine flooring and the heart pine reclaimed legs, I could really only make 3-4 more of these, but this is most likely one of a kind.
