It's certainly happened to you many times: looking at small furniture pieces in specialty stores or in your friends' homes and thinking that it wouldn't be so hard to make one yourself, especially when it comes to something made entirely of wood with few additional materials.
This also happens when it comes to making a coffee table from a log found somewhere in the yard, in the forest, or even at the edge of the road. As surprising as it may seem, it is not at all difficult to make such a coffee table, especially if you have a little talent for carpentry and an enviable good taste.
Cei de la 17apart.com show you how you can build such a table yourself, buying only a protective varnish from the store to maintain the wood and give it an enviable elegant look.
The first step is to get a log, preferably if you find an old tree trunk that has a generous surface for placing several objects on it after it will be "converted" into a coffee table.
After you have found this log, you need to sand it very well so that it is smoother than a baby's skin but at the same time as hard as concrete and resistant as stone to support the objects that will be placed on it.
The next step is to apply varnish abundantly in several layers to make sure it penetrates the wood and maintains its strength and shine, giving it an extremely aesthetic look.
After the varnish has dried, choose from a specialty store (in case you cannot make these elements yourself) the model of legs you want for your future coffee table. It is preferable to choose some metal legs that can support a considerable weight log.
Once you have screwed the metal legs well, you can enjoy a unique piece of furniture made with your own hands, which will certainly be much more elegant and refined than what you will find in stores selling mass-produced furniture.
Congratulations! Do It Yourself!
