Very nice look and it is amazing what you can accomplish by a little embellishment in one manner or other.
The thought of wood charring brought back a few memories. Back in the 70's that technique was all the rage. I use to make rustic patio furniture from old wood wire reels. being an electrician I had plenty access to these and depending on the size wire ordered determined the size reel they would come on. I took quite a few different sizes and made tables and the smaller ones I made seats. At that time we were even a more throw it away society and they just junked those reels. now there is a deposit on them and the contractor wants to get his money back so they watch them. But I use to flame them after they were built. Looked pretty cool and sold a few.
I also use to make a chess table out of them. I would insert a chess board in the top of one and wrap in some rope detail. I did make one for myself. I would have to try to dig up some old still photos of it somewhere to prove this. But it did happen
