Recycled wood gets new purpose


This brand new homemade shelf is made from old 2x4s and an amazing 15-inch wide plank salvaged from Jennifer's century-old Dundas home. We're not sure of the species of this soft wood, but it was milled over 100 years ago and is now  thoroughly dried and very easy to work with, becoming the perfect perch for Jennifer's convection oven in her temporary galley kitchen.
The countertop was made earlier from the same material, sanded smooth and polished off with a few coats of polyurethane.
