Jack's Backyard Natural Wood Designs For Our World
This is my TV/ video cabinet. It's 6' 4" tall and almost 42" wide. The center of the cabinet is 23" deep and has 4 fixed shelves. I made this from 1"x 6" pine I stripped from a huge 22' long by 6' high pallet. I used rotted cedar parts from an old swingset, and trimmed it with wood from the ol' woodpile. I was able to get enough wood to make two more smaller cabinets. which you can see below. It's fastened with wood screws covered with wood plugs, #8 finishing nails, and wood glue. It was custom designed and built to my specs and looks great!
It was imperfect to begin with. That's one of the trials that go along with reclaimed wood. Sometimes the lumber is not long enough or pretty enough to build what you want. I had to reverse engineer the design and build from my longest piece of scrap. I went out my way to show the imperfections in the wood. I did not hide knots, holes, or bark areas. I did not worry about making a statement for seamless craftsmanship. I took liberties with my skills to make it imperfect. I never want to forget where it came from.
