I love making shelves and bookcases out of reclaimed fence! I scored a white painted fence and just got it all tore apart and all the nails out of it to start making furniture with it. This shelf is going in a country style kitchen to put a microwave on and store other small appliances. I also made a reclaimed barnwood table with an adjustable shelf to put a big tv on and components on the shelf. It is crazy how I never get tired of pulling out nails, cutting rotton ends of boards, sanding mold and dirt off old boards and turning them into a useful piece of furniture. It would be so much easier to go buy wood and make furniture with square and clean lumber, but it's not the same. Something about showing a person the wood I'm gonna make their furniture out of and the look of "omg" in their eyes and then the "omg, I love it!" when I'm all finished.
Once again...Thank you all for your support! Especially to Jennifer and Chris and John! You guys Rock!!!
