Charred Pallet Coffee Table

I built this coffee table from pallet wood out of necessity after breaking my coffee table. It was my first woodworking project and has had me hooked ever since.

It is 3′ x 3′ and about 20″ tall. The main part of the table is basically a 6″ tall by 3′ square box (think sandbox) divided into four equal sections. Two sections have hinged lids that open to reveal storage underneath. The other two have cantilever hinges inside that allow the lids to be lifted up and out as tray tables.

I used almost entirely wood from pallets with the exception of some 3/4 plywood added for stability. Upon completing the build I used a propane torch to chat all of the wood then sealed with a spray poly.
