5 table top inspiration ideas

If you either bought a table frame or are still thinking about it, then this article is probably for you. Here are 5 table top ideas that you can create at home:

First up - The Recycled Pallet Table

This 'How To' video by BeachBumLivin shows how to make a very stylish coffee table using nothing but old pallets. By scouring businesses for thrown-away pallets, you can do this cheaply with the right tools. As you are recycling the wood from the pallets and including Kee Klamp into that mix, the design possibilities are endless!

This Instructable shows how to make your own glow in the dark table.

Use any piece of wood, a bit of imagination and a mix of glow in the dark, resin and a bit of elbow grease (or an industrial sander).

This table would look great with aluminium fittings, so turn to our Kee Lite range to compliment the unique style and retro feel.

Interestingly enough, these tables are made to order, so if you like this concept, why not give http://www.design4wood.co.uk/ a call?

4 - The Penny Bar

This unusual idea shown here in this how to video by Ssmallfry can show how a very basic piece of wood can be used to make a nice looking table very cheaply. You will be covering the entire surface of the table and then sealing it with epoxy; the table top itself can be fairly basic.

5 - "Live Edge" Table Tops

Alternatively using reclaimed wood and 'live edge' can produce some fantastic results! Getting hold of a supplier may not be as hard as you think, check out the Community Wood Recycling website to find a supplier near you!

Alternatively contacting a local tree surgeon such as Kent Logs is a great way to obtain beautiful table tops such as:
