Custom Coffee Table Made From Recycled Teak Wood DIY

Making furniture out of recycled wood is a great way to create unique structures and help the environment at the same time. Here is a simple and fun woodworking project that was made from recycled Teak wood. This one-of-a-kind coffee table was made completely with a Teak wood that was scrap and was going to be thrown away. Teak wood is a great wood to use in woodworking but it is expensive and not readily available most of the time. If you have any type of scrap wood or looking to make a DIY coffee table yourself, this is an easy way to build one yourself with minimum skill.
