This is a small coffee table that I recently made out of reclaimed Redwood 2x deck lumber. Most of the time spent on this project was spent reclaiming the old deck boards. I filled most of the nail holes on this table using plugs that I cut from the redwood.
The table is pretty basic construction as I just used half lap joints for the top stretchers. I re-sawed the redwood to 1/2 inch for the bottom shelf pieces.
I finished the table with two coats of BLO and a heavy coat of paste wax.

The boards cleaned up nicely and the result is excellent, a classic well constructed table.

Very nice, I love the color and I think the plugged nail holes look really cool.

Really nice, Dan. I can’t focus on the table with all that eye candy in the background:)

That is some fine work Dan. Good for you for going the extra mile and reclaiming those old boards. I know that was a lot of effort on your part, but the result is a credit to you. Congrats!
