Rustic walnut sofa/coffee table - Woodworking Talk

2.5'' x 2.5'' spalted maple legs I salvaged from my fire wood pile.
It was quite the task getting them squared up. The legs are 7* out both directions. I found out that makes mortise & tenon construction a bit more challenging. Everything else is walnut. Finish is 3 coats of semi gloss poly. The butterflies are also spalted maple.

Leatherneck, very nice table. Good mix of Walnut and Spalted Maple and great implementation of the bowties.

Pulled the legs out of the firewood pile? I see that expression quite a lot on this forum – makes me want to get a working fireplace so I can raid my own woodpile

I don't want to pretend that I am an interior decorator or something, but that beautiful table goes very well with the carpet and couch. Nice job.
