After making a few rocking chairs from wine barrels what do you do with the spare barrel heads, staves and hoops? You make a table! The card part is finding rivets so you can make the hoops smaller. I found #10 galvanized steel rivets at Holcomb Hardware on Main Street Mt. Airy under about an inch of dust. If you are ever in Mt. Airy check them out.

Mike,

The top is 22" in diameter and the height is 24". I cut a 19" circle out of 3/4" plywood to attach the legs, hoop and top. The tops of the legs and plywood were cut on a 12.5º angle to match the flair of the hoop. The whole thing is put together with screws and plugged. The hoop fits pretty tight but I used a few small finish nails to hold it in place incase the wood shrinks. MC was around 14%. I used some General Finishes Out Door Oil and General Finishes WB Exterior 450 semi-gloss for the finish.

3/4ish x 3/4ish x 5ish will get you most any pen, 3" long is enough for most of the single barrel parker refill pens.

Adam,

If you have a way to cut them up, PM me your address and I'll send you a couple of pieces to play with.

Your table looks great and will go with your rocking chairs perfectly. Nice work.

Nice work, and the staves are a bear to work with, nothing straight or square. Had a barrel, made a table, many spoons large and small, oven rack pull/push sticks, and now some crosses.

Rick thanks, I cut the profile of the spoons with a jigsaw, then used a spokeshave to round the edges, and a gouge and mallet to shape the 'scoop' part.
