Pine Coffee Table

24" x 66" x 17 1/2" high

Built using two old board and batten doors, one from a home on Regent

Street here in Ottawa.  The door that is the table-top bears its original

hinges which are cast-iron.  They do not have a removable pin, and

the research indicates they were made in the mid 1800's.  That fact, and the

square nails, help date the doors.

The only new material are the legs, which are solid pine that have been tapered

and then dyed using a blend of analine dyes to match the pumpkin-pie shade of the

antique pine.  The entire table was then protected with water-based

varathane.
