I’m posting this so I can transfer it over to the One Mans Junk summer Lumberjock’s Contest. This table was built from an old barn door using a table saw and the Legacy Ornamental mill. I posted picures of the original wood, there were so many nail holes in it it took the whole 7 foot board to make the small legs and top. I wanted to take the oldest most “lost cause” piece of lumber I could find and turn it into something new. I had a friend who was tearing down a barn and was nice enough to supply the raw materials. It passed the “spouse test” as she was willing to put it in the living room, but later suggested I suprise the guy who gave me the wood and return it to him. I thought that was a good idea as the barn was part of his home place as a child.
