So far, I have some really promising and inexpensive leads for reclaimed wood on craigslist. I am still considering different wood types and how I’ll find wood for this, one option is purchasing pecky cypress wood planks (type of wood with natural pockets) or to find some sort of reclaimed wood to use (i.e. ![]() And then the main part of the final design, the table top, will be composed of the reclaimed/distressed wood. The final design will also use color changing LED strip lights, which I think I will try to find with a remote and battery pack power. ![]() The legs adjust from 19 ¾” to 28 ¾”, which after some research on average height for coffee tables and “beer pong” tables, seemed to fit pretty well.

However, I have seen people line the back of their TV’s with subtle LED’s which I really like, so that’s the sort of look I’m going for with those.

Specifically, I feel most inspired by the look of this tabletop, which also incorporates glow powder in the epoxy. In particular, I really liked the look of distressed wood with colored epoxy in the damage pockets. So, I was inspired by a lot of the resin finish reclaimed wood table tops that I saw and am decided to take that route.
