DIY Coffee Table From a Tree Slab
Making a coffee table out of a tree slab is a great way to add a personalized touch of nature to your home. Not only is a tree slab visually incredible, but it can be a great conversation starter in your living room. With the right materials and a bit of patience, you can create your very own custom coffee table.
Components You Will Need
- Tree Slab: Choose a slab that is big enough for your coffee table and has a flat surface. You can find tree slabs at many home improvement stores, or you may be able to get one from a local tree removal company.
- Legs: You need to purchase legs that are the appropriate size for the slab you chose. You can either buy pre-made legs or make them yourself.
- Saw: You will need a saw to cut the legs to the desired size.
- Wood Glue: The wood glue will hold the legs securely onto the tree slab.
- Sandpaper: Sandpaper will help to sand down any rough edges.
- Stain and Finish: A stain and finish will help protect the wood and give your coffee table a finished look.
Steps to Build Your Coffee Table
- Measure the slab and decide on the size of the legs you need.
- Cut the legs down to the desired size with the saw.
- Apply wood glue to the bottom of the legs and attach them to the tree slab.
- Let the glue dry.
- Sand down any rough edges with the sandpaper.
- Apply the stain and finish to the wood.
That’s all it takes to make your own custom coffee table from a tree slab! With a bit of patience and the right materials, you can create your own stylish, unique piece of furniture.
