This patio cart is the latest project for my kid’s school auction. It is made from recycled hemlock that was a split rail fence for 30 years. The plan is from Woodsmith but I modified it a little. Only the wings that are viewed from both side are mortise and tenon, the rest of the slats are pocket holed.
It was a lot more work than I anticipated and the wood was a lot harder to work with than I am used to. If I want to keep working with this wood (I have about 500 board feet); I am definitely going to buy a thickness planner!

^a friend of mine gave me some hemlock and described it as a “construction grade” wood. For that reason, I left it lying around, abused. When I finally cut it up, I was shocked by how much I liked it. I wish I had treated it better like you have:) I really like this piece.
