Summer Challenge 2008 - Was Junk - Now it's for the Mrs.

Lucky Mrs! It is gorgeous!
Nice use of the wood!

Great job, Russel! Way to recycle the fence into something beautiful!

-- Living on the square...

Great job there Russel. I like what you have done where the legs join into the top.

Gotta like those 2 for 1 projects.

Oh . . . what kind of wood it it?

Thanks.

Zuki, the two for one seemed natural since the gate was an outdoor object it seemed best to leave it there. And I guessing the wood is some sort of cedar.

Looks great to me, Russel.

Killed two birds with one stone!

Great build Russel. From the looks of the first picture, there might be another project or two for the Mrs. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

A briliant piece of woodworking from the junk. The finish is too good to believe that it is from old junk. They say beauty is skin deep, here uglyness of the junk is skin deep. Never throw old wood unless u see what is beneth a thin layer.

Correction: Apparently I should read the rules before entering. The ‘Serving It Up With Class’ category says it should use at least two types of wood. Well, this doesn’t so I guess I only hit one bird with this stone so I’ve removed it and it only qualifies as One Man’s Junk. Sorry for misleading anyone.

A great looking table Russel!

The wood looks to me like cypress.

That’s a great recycling achievement Russel and a really nice project. Lovely colour on that table.

Dick, if you say cypress, I’ll believe you. I thought that cypress was more yellow in color, but if I knew anything I could get a real job.

Stewart, the color is what came out when I applied the Teak Oil. There’s a lot more red in there than I expected. I kinda like it as well.

Looks great Russel; I was thinking it looked a little like old Redwood…

THATS AN ADOORABLE TABLE
