Ideas for this great find?

by Kim Kilmer
Recently took a trip to Home Depot and came across these great pieces of wood. I was so excited I had to share. I am combing through all sorts of ideas to use these. what are your suggestions? This one is 24" X 1". At only $6.88 each it's a steal! They also have an 17.75" x 1" round for less than $5.12!!

    I love the wood dept!!! I got one, cut it half and attatched it to the powder room wall in front of the potty. Then I got legs for it (2 in the same dept.) and now its a table for those who cant live without entertainmen in the bathroom! :)

    I'm thinking of cutting one in half as well. I thought it would make a great plaque with our name and house number on it to hang above the door.

    I also saw them at HD and knew I had to find something to make with them.This is the only photo I have and I did some rework to tighten up the rope. I suggest using a larger mirror if you make one.

    We used them to make an outside table out of an old tire. After priming and putting a design on it, I sprayed them with flex-seal and there you have it an inexpensive outdoor table.

    Make an enormous farmhouse clock from the round one!

    Make a Lazy Susan, with the larger one on top. Home Depot also sells the hardware for this project, that attaches both pieces and allows the top to turn. Great for the center of a table to hold condiments, etc. For gatherings.

    I had this old clock and I tried 3 different clock mechanisms and none would work, so I gave up and added it to the top of this wood that already had a lazy suzanne bottom. It sits on my 8 foot farm house table. I use it to put food that can be turned around for all to access. Love it and get tons of compliments on it!

    My husband took one of these and installed legs made from a 4x4. We used it to raise our Christmas tree (our tree skirt covered it perfectly) in order to create a little room under the tree for packages. Love it.

    I've always wanted to make one of these cow print tables since I saw it on Flea Market Flip. The circle may be just the right size for the top of the milk can.

    I had an old bar stool with a round seat that wasn't being used. Bought one of these wood rounds, removed the upholstered seat from the stool to reveal the wood stool base. Then, I took wood screws (being careful to get a length of screw that goes into the wood tabletop but not through it!) and attached the stool base to the tabletop from the bottom of the stool base. You see no screws that way. With some fun paint and patterns, this created a great small occasional table. We use it for the laptop as well as a casual dinner for two. It's really handy!

    you could always make a vintage clock face out of it...
