Here is a rustic coffee table that I just finished up for a lady. I framed it all out by using furring strips, used some pine tongue and groove for the bottom shelf, painted and scuffed the frame, and added a flag top. I came out really nice.

    • I make the flag first. I use furring strips that you can purchase at Lowes for about $2 a board. (You can make 2 stripes out of one board). I use a small propane torch to burn the stripes, carve the stars out with a dremel tool, then go back and burn the flag one more time for a rustic look. The frame/etc. is also made from furring strips, and legs were made from 4x4s. Then use black chalk paint, once painted, then scuff all of the edges with a mouse sander, clear with a matte or satin finish. Bottom shelf was made from pine tongue and groove, which is also fairly cheap from Lowes or Home Depot, also use torch to burn that as well...Then add the flag top! That's about it in a nut shell. You may get more pointers by looking at some of my other flag projects. Hope this helped some! :)

  • How do you create the stars?
    By jmiell, on April 7, 2017
    • I use to use a chisel, but it takes to long. I found out that a dremel is way quicker and easier to use.
      By fEzZ, on April 28, 2017

  • Yes... how did you create the stars.. looks awesome!

    • I'm usually a build as you go type of guy. I hardly ever go off of any type of plans....lol...to give you a rough idea on how I went about making this..I make the flag first. I use furring strips that you can purchase at Lowes for about $2 a board. (You can make 2 stripes out of one board). I use a small propane torch to burn the stripes, carve the stars out with a dremel tool, then go back and burn the flag one more time for a rustic look. The frame/etc. is also made from furring strips, and legs were made from 4x4s, that I cut down and routered a design into.. Then used black chalk paint, once painted, then scuff all of the edges with a mouse sander, clear with a matte or satin finish. Bottom shelf was made from pine tongue and groove, which is also fairly cheap from Lowes or Home Depot, also use torch to burn that as well...Then add the flag top! That's about it in a nut shell.

  • I like what you did here, very impressive!!! I'm in the middle of making a coffee table as well for a client with a slide out. You have done what I have pictured in my mind. My question to you is, since you use furring strips and you are able to use one board for two stripes, what are the width of each stripes? Thank you in advance and keep up the good work.

  • Is the part with the stars a separate piece of wood?
    By babe4a77, on May 11, 2017
    • Yes, I used a separate piece for the field/stars.. This table ended up having a piece of glass set inside of the frame to protect the flag tabletop. Customer's request.

  • How did you attach the top to the frame?
    By rixter880, on December 26, 2017
    • The frame has triangles, in each of the four corners. I also have an edge on the inside, on both ends of the table. You can sort of see them in the frame picture. I have holes drilled in them, so all I had to do is lay the flag ontop, and then run screws up through the holes, into the back of the flag.

  • I was wanting to build this table, but I do not know the dimensions. I was wandering if you could give me the dimensions?
    By Brendan22, on February 6, 2018

  • Did you cut the stars out all of the way and put them back in when you were done burning??
    By Brendan22, on February 6, 2018
    • I burnt the 'field' section first, and then used a dremel to carve the stars. Roughly 1/8" to 1/4" deep.
      By fEzZ, on February 6, 2018

  • Nice! Job well done
    By Jlmiller82, on February 14, 2018

      By fEzZ, on October 2, 2018

  • For the frame did you use screws,  nails or mortise and tenon method? And would you happen to have the measurements for the frame? Thanks! 
    By Garciam95, on November 13, 2018
    • I just used wood glue and brads. I glued and nailed it into the edges of the flag, the whole way around and also the ends where the frame pieces meet. I have no measurements for the frame. It was sort of a build as you go type of thing.
      By fEzZ, on November 13, 2018
