or- We use no wood before its time
The discussion of board storage made me think of this project from a few weeks ago.
It started with replacing some boards in my deck.
I figured I could salvage some usable wood from the old ones, which combined with the cut offs from the new one would yield a base for my grill.
That was the plan.
As these things go, there really was only about 4’ of useful salvage and a bunch of 25” cut-offs.
I started figuring what I could do with that and had a great idea if only I had another longish piece.
So I dove into the wood storage and discovered some nice redwood I salvaged from a picnic table my dad bought somewhere prior to 1964.
I can recall him telling me, “this is real redwood. It will last a long time.”. It surely has.
Into the shop and out comes this solution to my grill stand.
It’s not what I set out to do, but I like it.
Debating whether to stain the legs to match or complement the deck color.
FWIW the umbrella bracket is also from the cut offs
