Reclaimed or recycled wood makes a great rustic table.
The most difficult part of building a table from recycled and reclaimed wood is finding the perfect pieces of wood. Assembling the pieces of wood from various origins is similar to completing a puzzle, but the highly unique and conversation-inspiring outcome is certainly worth the trouble. To streamline the process, assemble the pieces in their rough positions before installing them permanently to ensure that no pieces are missing.
Instructions
1. Stand two of the 4-by-4 posts up on their ends and lay one of the 1 inch by 4 inch boards across the tops, with the posts right on the ends. Predrill four holes through the top board and into each post. Attach the boards using the 3-inch wood screws. Repeat for the other set of posts.
2. Assemble the tabletop upside down on the work surface. Arrange all boards in their intended order so that there are no gaps or spaces. Lay the four 1/2-inch by 4-inch boards evenly spaced across them and screw these boards to each tabletop board using two 1-inch wood screws.
