we needed an exterior table big enough for 8 on short notice. It's hard to find nice exterior furniture on the Big Island of Hawaii so we decided to build ourselves using borrowed tools. only wish i had my kreg jig nearby :).
*this is July 2021 (pandemic) so wood prices have shot up. that's the reason the cost of the project is higher than normal.
