Default Ideas for Reclaimed / Re-purposed Wood Projects

I am always looking for new & interesting ideas to give old wood a new
life.

Would anyone care to share your rustic or reclaimed wood projects,
plans, and/or ideas with others in this group?

Below are a few areas of interest... feel free to add your own.

- Rustic furniture
- Vintage furniture
- Rustic decor
- Re-purposed decor
- Unique projects
- Incorporating antiques into projects
- Wood widgets, puzzles, illusions, art, etc.

P.S. I would encourage anyone to help expand each other's woodworking
networks by mentioning the various ideas that come out of this
discussion. Just be sure to get permission first! Thank you everyone.


I use reclaimed wood for woodworking projects. It's amazing what a
couple passes through a planer will do to a piece of wood.

One of the most imporant purchases for reclaimed wood is a metal
detector. My $20 investment in a little hand model saved me $60 just
last night. Those tack heads were about the same color as the rest of
the wood and easy to miss.
