One day I had an idea to build a table of old barn wood and here's how it went....

I got the wood and pulled out the nails.....

Then I set it out so I could see how big i wanted it and what would fit on it....

I connected the end boards from underneath, it isn't very pretty but it is very stable....

Then I went to sanding. 

I started with some white putty to fill in some of the holes but I didn't like the look of it....

so a friend suggested I use black putty, it was much better.....

Then I got my side pieces to cover the bottom ugly part and to add stability....

Then I got my legs ready......

Then I put it together.  

I took the pieces to my friend to put a coating on it, he's a professional and it looks better than what I could have done.....Then I put it together.. I did paint the hardware black so they wouldn't show...

Here it is in my kitchen, it did take a couple grown men to get it in the house as it is really heavy. I put my mom's old chairs around it and love it.
