Old Plank Tables

by Prairie Bench2

Now serving… one kitchen table and one matching coffee table, coming right up. A new duo for a new home that uses barn fence planks. The wood is fir and spruce with Prairie Bench rustic finish and polished with durable polyurethane. The table top is notched and glued then set with hardwood hazelnut dowels. The legs are 3″x4″ posts with gussets.

You can also have a trestle design with a center beam that makes a handy footrest.

Approximate size: 26″ tall, 32″ wide, 42″ long. Coffee table: 17″ tall.

Timber Wolf Shield

Using our shield frame, the ‘Timber Wolf’ is carved in spruce, uses a braided sisal handle and has garnets for eyes. The gemstones hold the slightest red light and give the piece an ominous look. The grain of the wood dictated the outcome and suggested the wolf idea. The result, a Prairie Bench impression of the classic big, bad wolf.

The finish is a Prairie Bench Rustic Brown. This was a fun project and expect another with more dimension.

size: approx 22″ x 20″
