Reclaimed bowling alley wood coffee table for Christmas

[bnoon]

I made a coffee table from a piece of bowling alley lane that I had leftover from my kitchen island project (documented in my HUD repossessed renovation thread). 41"x41" square by 18" tall. Frame is standard 2x4 framing stud, doubled up for the legs. A pint of glue, and about 3 pounds of 3" screws hold it together. One heavy mother (guessing in the neighborhood of 200 pounds). Frame is painted Rustoleum Safety Red, one coat. Poly brush-on clear instead of poured on resin for this one though since it's not a food surface and was going for more of a shabby-chic look here. BTW, the "runs" seen in the one picture are the glue runs that were on there when I got the piece and left in place on purpose.

I made this for my girlfriend's mom and dad for Christmas. They love to repurpose things like this and even have a '67 Chevy tailgate as their headboard! They really loved it!
