Here is an idea that I thought some of you would like, like @Kachina624 and @Desertdi .

 

The original table.

Belts cut to fit the top-

Here it's paired with an upcycled chair, done in a SW style.

Makes for a very attractive set.  Are you whipping one out over this long week-end? I'd want to seal the leather with a water-proof spray of some sort or wet glasses would permanently stain it.

@lolakimono Very creative and I enjoy the simple pleasures of having a unique piece of furniture that no one else would have.  My dad had a real wagon wheel fitted with glass over the hubs and horse hanes for the legs years ago for my moms anniversary when we lived in TN as a table.

No, I won't be doing it BUT the blogger DID seal it with wax.

@lolakimono Afier my dad passed away in 1976 we moved to Mississippi so she would be near her family.  The table got sold to help keep a roof over our heads.................

I was not expecting to like this but the side table came out great.

@lolakimono  That last picture looks like a Sundance Catalog picture.
