Electrical Spool Turned Clock Face
I cut out Texas patterns using a jig saw out of pallets and glue them to the top of spools. I usually try to position them so that the holes are covered by the Texas. I've done quite a few now. Works out pretty well for wall or shelf decor. Thinking about making a lazy Susan out of one soon.
where the buffalos...
my current stockpile of spool tops. A lot of smaller spools you find have cardboard centers but wood tops. I take them apart and keep only the tops.
this is a more recent one I've done and probably one of my more favorite color wise.

friendship arrow bear spool top
this is the very first spool top I ever did and it still hangs on our wall in our hallway right now in our home. It has a stamp on it right above the Texas that says hecho en Mexico. I made sure to take extra precaution when sanding not to sand it off.
Sold this spool as an outside front porch table to some neighbors

If you want a bar table with more height than the center slats allow use 2 by 4's ( the desired height) and screw in the four/ five holes with screws already there. The bottom round is a foot rest. Add four or more legs under it close to the outside edge for stability. If you plan to use it outside and want it to last more than a few years add a solid top to prevent water and dust collecting in the spaces and rotting the wood.
