Hubby found the perfect board in the barn behind our lumber stack. It was a piece of Dad's old cattle salt trough. I used a wire brush to remove the saw dust from years of exposure to salt while Hubby used his grinder to remove the brads on the old television legs.

A wire brush was used to clean all. No paint but I can add that later if I want. What is it? I did all that just to have a place to throw my shoes when I come in muddy and dirty from outside.

The dirt stops here.
I just need to clean the footwear.
