Upcycle aquarium stand or coffee table

This is a unique aquarium stand made using old wood from my neighbors deck. Can be tweeked to make coffee table or nightstand with plenty of kitty storage. In a few weeks I am planning for a much bigger fishtank and my old stand is worn out and to small so when my neighbor started puting in a new deck i knew it was time for operation upcycle.
 

Step 1: Materials needed

Tools
- handsaw or miter saw
- corded drill
- power sander
- Dremel (optional)
- Prybar
- Hammer

Materials
- (6) 2x6 measured to 19''

Impressive carving. Not sure I would sand decking indoors as it probably been treated for exterior work with some sort of insecticidal and Fungicidal preservative.
