Note! You could have mitred the edges on a 45 and used a light sandpaper to hide the exposed edges. Weathered wood looks better when the “fresh” insides aren’t showing. Looks awesome though!

I spent an hour and a half surfing for info about how to use my aluminum T tracks. Your ideas hit for me! Sometimes the simplist things for me can be the hardest to visualize. THANKS!!

That’s fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration! I currently have some reclaimed barn boards sitting around that my sweet aunt snagge for me from her Kansas farm. I’m still mulling over ideas, but I wasn’t sure about how to seal the wood. It’s been sitting out in a barn for who knows how long, and I don’t want to bring critters in. I also want to protect it without losing it’s rugged patina. Is the polycrylic clear coat the best option?

Love that knobby handle, and I totally dig the rustic look! We did something similar (and far less complicated – easy way out!) with an old apple crate:

I’m filing this tutorial for later, for sure!
