[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 653721, member: 4362"] This week I've been in demolition mode. I tore down one house and two barns that were built in the 1800's. Inside the house were these 6x6 heart crypress beams that are hand hewn. Some time back I saw a coffee table made from beams such as this. Table was kept as original as possible. Basically cleaned, joined and polished. Table was about 3.5' x 5.5' x 2'. Its legs were simply galvanized pipe. Table top was basically just the beams cut to length then joined together somehow. I want to do this out of the beams but don't know the best way to do it. I was thinking about pegging them together but on the otherhand I thought that maybe useing threaded rod with inset bolts on an alternating pattern might do a better job then pegging the outside beams. Any idea would be appreciated? [/QUOTE]
