This is another completed DIY project that we did, a coffee table. It is a mixture of wood and metal. We think the wood is from a mahogany family. Hubby and a neighbor found the tree which was chopped down by the local municipal council by the road side. Apparently someone has slice the tree already but was not able to transport it.
This project took about only two weeks to complete. Here are some pictures on the chronicles of the coffee table.

| This is where the wood was found. |
 |
| The wood was a little too thick for a coffee table. |
 |
Our neighbour helped us to slice the wood
with his chainsaw. |
 |
| The wood is in the process of being sliced. |
 |
| Done! Sliced! |

| Getting the wood ready to be treated. |
 |
The wood has been treated so that no bugs
will attack the wood in the future. |
 |
We used metal for the coffee table legs.
We did not use wood as we did not
want to take the beauty away from
the coffee table top. |
