Every now and then we find ourselves facing a set of intricate instructions that make no sense along with pieces that will not fit like they are supposed to and the end result is that you frustrated without that piece of furniture that you’ve been trying to assemble for the past few hours. Why go through all that when you can do so much better. Just check out what this guy did and let us know what you think of it.
Items you need are plywood that you can get at Cut My Plastic, birch logs, sanded grout and wood glue.
The first step is to cut out a plywood base followed by centering it and then affixing it to a smaller wooden box. (The box has be to smaller).
Start gluing the logs to the baseboard and outside of the box.
Once completed, attach a piece of plywood to hide the opening of the box.
Cut a few logs into smaller slabs and then glue them to the top of the box – make sure they are lined up with the birch logs around the outside.
Use grout to fill in the empty spaces between the pieces of wood. Flat it out using grout float.
The grout imparts an even surface and makes the wood rounds look like full logs.
Affix wheels at the bottom.
Apply clear polyurethane and your birch coffee table is ready!
