Trash Wood into CASH! Turning old fence pickets into custom table.

I tore down my old fence in the fall of 2023. The old thing was falling apart everywhere I looked... and the termites were eating at the bottoms of the pickets. As I took the fence down I noticed that many of the boards would be fine to use again if I were to just to cut about a foot off the bottom. I determined that I could save many of these and make something nice out of them so I kept many of them. If you watched the video, you can see that my shed has turned into my wood storage center (haha but not a joke really) and my lawn tools and equipment have taken a back-seat to the space in there. Many call what I sometimes collect 'trash wood' for the burn pile but I see the true beauty and potential of wood. I will admit that sometimes it doesnt turn out quite like I hoped but this is not one of those examples. This goes to show how you can turn trash into treasure and exchange for cash. Let me know what you think and what you want to see next.
