Wire Spool Coffee Table

I recently moved into a new house and was in need of a coffee table for my living room. I found this old wire spool on the property that needed to be taken care of, I then realized I could knock out two birds with one stone.

jig saw or reciprocating saw, sander, stain, polycrylic or polyurethane and a medium sized wooden spool.

Sand down until very smooth and no nails or splinters are sticking out.

I just used my Yeti as a templet to draw a circle around the base. Some pieces started falling apart smoke sure to glue everything together and clamp it down. Sand around the edges of the freshly cut base.

I used a Minwax Red Mahogany stain to evenly cover the whole table.

I applied 3 coats of poly to the top and 2 coats to the base and the "leg" of the table, sanding between coats.
