Library Table

Looks pretty darn good to me. Those crates make nice tables.

Very beautiful. If you did not tell before and after, I didn’t know it was from shipping crates.
How did you hide the holes left behind by long brads? Has your saw or plane ever bit hidden brad?

I have had a bad experience once…spent almost an hour to make good my plane iron. Then only I bought “little wizzard metal detector”...Now no more chewing hidden metal…LOL .

Reallly nice reuse of materials! Where do you get the crates from?

Nice job on the project.
I was surprised to find out that those shipping crates / pallets are actually good “rough” cut lumber. I found, oak, poplar and good pine was used in their construction. I made some quick jigs and scraps to furniture builds out this “free” wood. I made some small boxes and a small bench from some oak. Your table is an excellent example of using that resource wisely. The table appears to be well built. It has a very appealing look.

That’s excellent! I have made 2 end tables from old spool boards for massive cable spools, and they’ve cleaned up nicely as well, but I love the look of your table!

Excellent piece!

You are a master of recycling wood. Great job!
