Reclaimed Barn Beam Coffee Table

This coffee table is made out of reclaimed wood from the 1800’s and was built without any fasteners. No nails. No screws. Just joinery and wood pegs. The legs are made from reclaimed mortise and tenon barn beams. The legs used to support the structure of a barn for over 100 years. That old wood is now reused in this coffee table and the original markings are all still visible on the wood. Some may see it as a ruff piece of wood, others will see it as a job well done by someone with limited tools and plenty of skill. The original pegged tenons can be seen on the legs as well. Instead of modern nails and screws, these beams were held together with carefully crafted wood pegs. There are also visible craftsman markings on the beams, originally used to mark the location of the mortise holes. instead of using a pencil to mark on the rough wood they would use a knife. This makes them even cooler a century later with them still visible. The cross supports are also barn wood from the 1800s. Wha
