Warehouse Vent Coffee Table

This is one of the first pieces I made that is acutally being used as furniture in someones home.  I found the top at a local flea market and was told it came out of an old warehouse.  They functioned like attic vents, giving the hot air a place to escape.  I built this for a friend and the base is made from old 4x4 lumber that was laying in the yard when she bought her house.  It was aged to perfection!  I need to get some better pictures of it.  This one was taken before it was finished.  It was sprayed with polyurethane to seal the flaking white paint to the top.  It was a great addition to on an Old Cloverdale home.  I hope she enjoys it for many years to come!
