Thanks so much for your reply, Gail! I appreciate your taking the time to answer my question. Now I just need to narrow down my project ideas for the benches.

By the way, I really love the many cool posts you share – I’m so inspired and look forward to creating beauty in my home. Thank you again.

Donna,

I use gray (reclaimed wood) all the time for many projects. In my opinion, even if the wood had been treated, after all the years in the weather I feel that the chemicals have dissipated or the wood wouldn’t have faded and weathered. That being said, I would NOT use it for anything that children or food may come in contact with.
happy to hear from you, I’m always here if you have questions.

Wonderful table! All your projects are so cool, I’m going to try to copy them!
If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask you a question – I have 2 old benches that have been outside for years, and the wood is very grey (love it), cracking etc. I’ve done absolutely nothing to them. Do you think I could still use the better pieces of wood to make something for indoors? I don’t think the wood is pressure treated, but if so can it be used indoors? Thank you very much for any thoughts you care to share!

Dee,

We all have to start somewhere. This one would be a great beginner project. 🙂

Wow really nice table, I would put it in front of my glider on the patio. . You always do such a fantastic job. Just wish I could build stuff.

Terri,

This rustic coffee table sold very early in the morning. They left it for a delayed pick up and I could have sold it all day long. 🙂 Since it is so easy to build, I wish I had made more.

Great table! I would use it on a covered porch as a coffee table.

Do these sort of project sell quickly? I don’t have a booth but a local shop has a free weekend for anyone to sell their wares. I’m going to take a few things to see if I get a nibble.
