Reclaimed Ash and Elm Desk Tables

Glen's beautiful scrap wood box. Heart pine, walnut and ash.

Before and after. These solid Southern Long-leaf Yellow Pine timbers were columns in a post & beam warehouse. 1 inch dia. holes drilled through the long way control cracking and warping. The columns will be oiled for a very deep old look.

Canisius puts the finishing touches on the solid wood columns. A lot of hand scraping went into cleaning these beauties! Can you say "Sore hands and shoulders!"

Canisius lines up sringers for the layout template

Neatly routered dados for treads, risers and wedges. Notice the difference in the patina face and the newly routered dados!
