In this video, we're building a coffee table inspired by antique furniture, a vintage African daybed to more specific.
We used two 5,1-meter pine boards (45x220mm) for this project, which we then cut up into 3x 175 cm boards for the top and 12x 32 cm pieces for the legs.
This was the cheapest and most convenient option for us, even though we didn’t need the full width for the tabletop.
To achieve the specific look that we wanted, we mainly used an Axe for the shape and a few different techniques to make it look old, such as gravel, steel brush, wood stain, and black paint.
What we used:
Stain - “Charcoal” colored
Paint - Black furniture paint (water-based)
Clear coat/Finish - Polyurethane lacquer (water-based)
This is just one of many woodworking projects and pieces of furniture we'll build on this channel with a DIY approach. We love woodworking and we're working on building most of our furniture ourselves, starting in the living room.
