Update: Free wooden spool

[EKing]

Free to a good home, I have a wooden spool that once held fiber optic cable.
It is 30 inches tall (as shown in the bed of my truck) and the diameter is 42 inches.

I can get other sizes if interested; some much smaller, some much, much bigger. These are all free but if it starts to cost me a lot of time, I will charge something.

Pick this up in Harrah.

1970's hippie coffee table (don't ask me how I know).

Yep, built one for my sister years ago when she moved out of the home. Put formica on the top and sides, and legs underneath. It actually looked pretty good and she used it for years.
One thing people need to know if using these, they are typically made of semi green cottonwood as it's the cheapest. If they are set outside like we did at our gun range, the wood dries and shrinks which results in the thing falling apart.
One can use the all-thread rods that hold them together to tighten them up as the wood shrinks if the threads are treated because they are not galvanized and will lock up with rust.

You’re so right about them deteriorating in the elements. Pic attached of my shop/Man Cave. I have several in there that we stained and use as tables. I have several outside also stained. We stain them with the same stain / water sealer we use in our decks. Even with that, we still have to replace the outdoor ones after a few years.

That is a nice man cave. You wouldn't need a tin foil hat in there.

I got back to the yard to see what is there. These are the large spools, don't have the dimensions but they are big.
All free but you must pick up in Norman.

Sometimes I travel (today I'm in Altus) and may be able to meet to bring one spool, no promises.
