Island built from recycled pallet wood and rough cut walnut

We decided to build a 4'x4' island using 2x6 pallet wood and rough cut walnut.For the top we headed out to a sawmill that has been shut down and the owner gladly met us and let us pick through his wood. We decided upon a few pieces of rough walnut that he had. #Bestof2012 #Love2Repurpose #recycle
Time: 20 Hours Cost: $75 Difficulty: Moderate

    Thanks! We liked the idea of the dark walnut and turquoise on the base.

    Thanks everyone, we had a blast building the island. It was really cool to take a blank piece of walnut and watch it become a beautiful top for the island. The cost wasn't bad either?
