Woodworking projects don't get much easier than this rustic twig table--and they don't get much cheaper either. In fact, all the material used to construct this table was found or salvaged. The legs and rails are made of logs and sticks, while the tabletop is made from scrap board.
There are a number of places where you can look for such materials. Logs and sticks can be found in the woods or as waste at road-work,
construction, and manufacturing sites. Old pallets, meanwhile, are a plentiful source of leftover lumber. Just be sure to get permission before obtaining your materials.
Table Matters
Note: The rough dimensions for this table are 40 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 37 inches tall. (Some measurements may vary slightly, depending on the dimensions of your salvaged materials.)
Step 1:
Cut four legs to 33 inches, four long horizontal pieces between legs to 34 inches, and four short horizontal pieces between legs to 14 inches. For the legs, we used logs that are 3 to 4 inches in diameter. For the horizontal pieces, we used sticks that are 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. (Tip: Use wood with interesting character, such as knots and twists.)
