Reclaimed Wood Sofa Table

Handmade gifts are the absolute best. I feel extremely fortunate that I'm married to a guy who fully embraces the concept. Especially since I'm the most frequent recipient of his handiwork. I'd been searching for a table to go behind one of the leather sofas in our family room but finding one with the right scale and design hasn't been easy. For my Christmas gift, he offered to make me one of my own design and dimensions. So I quickly sketched it out, gave him the measurements and by the end of the day he gave me this!

He'd been saving a couple of huge planks of reclaimed wood which ended up being just right for the project. After he cut them to fit the frame he applied a coat of clear wax, no stain was needed and I asked him to leave the metal frame he welded unfinished instead of painting it. I sort of like the rustic look with all the other elements in the room. And if I grow tired of it I can always give it a quick coat of paint.
I absolutely love my gift and know I will cherish it for years and years.
