Reclaimed "Couch" bowl

[Donny Lawson]

Well, after picking these legs off the bottom of an old couch a few weeks ago I decided to see what could become of them. I decided to keep the shape so after a little reworking,hollowing I decided to give it a lid from one of the other legs. It looks like pine to me. I added a Walnut knob and a few rings around the edge for looks. It's finished with 4 coats of lacquer.Not too bad considering it was headed for the landfill. C&C welcome.

Ha!!! That's is green if I've ever seen it!!! Forget the recycle bin...I'm saving stuff and sending it to you!. Nice job Donny!!

[Tim Thiebaut]

That is just a great re-use of something old, very nice Donny, I like the shape of this alot.

[John Keeton]

Great transformation, Donny!! Really some nice work, and very ingenious, actually. I think the wood looks more like poplar, or some type of fruit wood.

[Chris Burgess]

Wow this is great. I remeber te first one some months ago.....I belive it was yours. Just goes to show, no such thing as trash. I am w/ John on it being Poplar. Great idea and great eye.

[Donny Lawson]

Whatever wood it might be the bottom said "Made in China" but now it can say "Re-made in AMERICA"....
