Ouija board table.  Found a rusty pedestal in a free pile and the Ouija board at a tag sale.  A few screws here, spray paint there, slap it on some plywood and trim it out, and bam, one of a kind Ouija board side table.

Cherry and cedar bar style table.  100% reclaimed wood.  Custom designed for a friend. 

This is what happens if you are my friend and complain about having too many stools and not enough table.  Repurposed cherry flooring, left over cedar railing material and a solid cherry trim.  All saved from the landfill and given a new home in a lovely kitchen.   Total build time, less than six hours.
