Hi all. I had a steel outdoor table frame with a badly neglected wooden top, so I decided to give it a new top......but, wood is so expensive. I had a pallet lying around so....

First I made a frame that I bolted onto the steel framework.

Then I cut the pallet into equal sized pieces....making sure that all the old nail holes line up

I used three pieces of knotty pine offcuts that were lying around for the two sides and the middle. After sanding for what seemed to be ages (3 days by hand) I finally gave it 3 coats of linseed oil...

I am never satisfied with anything I've done.....so I need some criticism and ideas on how to improve. Please don't be gentle......just lay it on me. Lol

Looks great! Now you need to replace those old wooden bench seats with some new wood to complete the "make over".

I certainly can't give any kind of criticism for that, WOW! That's amazing...I would also love to have this but my goats would be jumping all over it!
Thank you. You are all too kind. I have my dogs jumping all over it.
