A Nautical Buoy Crate
After taking apart an old whitewashed gate I was anxious to use the reclaimed wood.
This buoy was my nautical inspiration for this project.
When I attached the bottom 2 slats I made them longer than the box and cut the top to create a point.
Using a 1" hole bit I cut a hole for hanging.
Wood glue and screws make this box sturdy.
I used a long clamp to hold the boards together while the wood glue dried.
When the box was finished I used painter's tape to mask off 2 lines for red stripes.
I stenciled on a number, distressed the paint, and added a rope thorough the hole for hanging.
And now the old gate is a nautical buoy box.
Perfect where ever you may need a little extra storage.
Like in the bathroom because toilet paper fits perfectly inside.
