Look what I built my wife for V-Day! I built this 8'x3' (30.5" tall) harvest table from framing lumber using lap joints, homemade stain and 3" decking screws. All screws were countersunk 1/2" and covered with 3/8" poplar dowels. Seats 8-10.

Stunning!
Great job, it looks great! I'd like to make a 36" high version for a kitchen island.

Beautiful, you couldn't even buy a pressed cardboard one at WalMart for that.
