I am very nostalgic. I wanted to save and repurpose the doors from our 1940's colonial home our kids grew up in. When we sold the house they were replacing them and I asked for them. They are solid wood with gorgeous glass windows. I don't have any photos at the moment.But I have clear vision in my head . Just not sure what to use for the best support and style for the table and bench idea ... HELP !!!

    This is a Hometalker who used their old door as a coffee table, but the technique is the same just use it for outdoors- I can't wait to see how it comes out!
