You could get some 1/4-20 machine bolts with a counter sunk head. Drill and counter sink the holes the threw bolt the steel top too the wood. You could even drill the holes in the wood to say a 3/8 size and use a 1/4" fender washer to a allow for expansion and contraction.

I personally would pick it up and get it for free

Since the holes are square use a carriage bolt :)
