After much deliberation, clearing out of old wood in various states of decomposition, and a 1/3 dozen birdhouses in various states of completion – not to mention looking at, drooling over and wondering how I could possibly compete with the other projects in the one man's junk contest I decided to dust off my Thorsen inspired table from last summers Popular Woodworking challenge. Sure I’ve got a creative birdhouse on the drawing table that might have a snowballs chance against one of John’s Extreme ones, but It’s not going to be ready (at least not to my liking) by deadline.
How appropriate to recycle a project for the recycling contest!
Its only made from the old dining room door and salvaged chalkboard slate. More info in the project post, and the several blog entries detailing it’s evolution from ugly painted exterior door in disrepair to gorgeous interior table.
