On a run a few months ago, I stumbled upon some thick logs in the street and envisioned them as a statement top to a table. I ran home, hopped in my car and went to go load em up. They were in pretty bad shape to be honest, but true to my nature, I found a means to make use of them. It has become somewhat comical and customary that in using scraps and old/discarded wood, there will assuredly be a few difficulties. Not to mention, I like to (typically) find my tools at garage sales, which means they are not as reliable and shiny as could be found new at the store; thereby things may just take a bit more time for my projects.
Nonetheless, I put a few logs together, used up some unique boards, and you find an eclectic little new creation. I originally envisioned it to be a kitchen island butcher block, but as the measurements came in and the pieces were put together, she looked a bit too long and narrow for an island to me.
I stained her a good ol' vinegar and black tea and she found her way inside.
She's a bit bulkier and rough, and could stand to lose a few lbs, but she's all wood and no curves and I quite like her as she is.
