I wrote down all of the measurements for the wood that we still needed to acquire, and set out to scavenge around our home and my dads garage to find wood. We needed to acquire two boards for arm rests, and four leg posts. For the legs we got two 4x4 beams, and plan to cut them into four equal 25" posts, which will be used for the legs. Considering that the arm and leg pieces will be new would and the pallets are old wood, they will look like different shades of brown, However I intend to "distress" the new pieces of wood that I got in order to make them appear as if they are older. I plan on also adding a design to the arm rests, to give the final product of the chair a more personalized affect. I am researching to find the best way to distress wood, so that I can do the next part of my project.
