Maybe build something really simple first before trying this project.
You know what Im talking about, right?
For us it was a West Elm Plank Coffee Table, with the price tag of $1,155.
Weve worked withpallet wood before, but this was the biggest project we decided to tackle with it.
It wasnt as hard as we thought .
and this table ended up being less than $50 to make!
Heres how we made ours.
First youll need to gather your supplies.
The finished dimensions of this table are 16 tall x 30 wide (square).
Ihighly recommenddownloading the cut lists and printing to follow along with the instructions.
We assumed our wood was already dry because it felt dry we learned the hard way.
For step 12, the top wood planks are 31 because they overhang on each side by 1/2.
Steve cut and glued as he went along.
He started at one end.
It might not beperfect.
but it will be close enough for government work, if you know that saying?
Weve done a lot of sitting and dancing on the table (you think Im kidding) and itsreallysturdy.
Youre in the home stretch!
Its really amazing how the stain soaks into the pallet wood on the table and gives a beautiful finish .
with gorgeous variations in color.
The nail holes and knots add character as well.
Take a look at the details were so happy with how our coffee table DIY turned out!
It looks amazing in a living room.
The pallet wood helped with the cost and also helped with the character.
