Architectural salvage with worn finishes is great for decorating. Look for door moldings that are the same size and join them to form a box.
Materials:
- Architectural wood
- Wood glue
- Corner clamps
- Plywood
- Hammer and small nails
How to make your salvaged-wood box:
1. Cut your wood pieces to the desired size. Fit them together to form a box, apply wood glue, and secure corner clamps on the wood. Let the glue dry.
2. Install plywood in the bottom of the box using nails and a hammer for unique desktop storage.
