Just beautiful
What area of the country do you live in? That Mahogany is just beautiful. Does it come in dimensional lumber sizes? You guys did an excellent job.

Lumber used
Thank you, we live in the Chicagoland area. We purchased the wood from Owl Lumber. Owl Lumber has an excellent selection of hardwood. The wood comes in a variety of dimensional lumber sizes. The table top we made has several different widths, 1x5, 1x6 and 1x7.

Bolts for table top
Hello,
We love the look of your table. Can you let us know the size of the bolts you used for the table top? Also where you found them would be super! Thanks!

Bolts
I used 1/4" bolts that were 6" long. I purchased the bolts at Fastenal.
