Wooden Furniture Deserves DIY Wooden Furniture Feet
Rounded DIY Wooden Furniture Feet Here are some funny little wooden furniture feet I made from a left over chunk of 9”x 9” yellow pine beam. Couldn’t bear to throw out a stupid 12” off-cut from last year when I built the back post and b eam style back deck cover… kinda glad I didn’t after all.

Custom Sink – We Build These The first sink photo was the sink from Milan. It cost $4500.00+. The second is the custom sink we built. It cost $3000.00.
