| Found the 2 long sides and one short side of a crib the other day. Fairly good shape; could probably use a good sanding and a coat of paint or another coat of shellac, but structurally sound.
I've liked the look of high-backed benches made with the two short sides and one long side, but what would you do with these three pieces?

| I guess the first thing that comes to mind are a trellis. |

| I'm thinking a small bench/chair...using one of the side rails, cut in half, for the arms...with a couple of chair legs or decorative spindles on the front of the arms. I'm good at picturing things...just not good at splainin' them! ~Sandy~ |

| Has anybody seen instructions/tutorial on building a bench using the crib parts? I'm hardy a waif-like creature, and I'm a little nervous about building something to sit on! |

| if you use the sides for trellis, then use the spindles for something else or another trellis. go to the GardenJunk and look at missmaggie's 3 posts. She painted spindles up and made a fence....adorable. In fact, just opened flat, would make a neat garden fence that you grow vines up. |
