I Got my inspiration from ana's website here. I have a 200+ year old house and I just redid the dining room so I figured now would be the time to make a table for it. I did not use standard pine lumber, this was done all in Vermont walnut that was cut about 4 miles from my house and milled on site. I like to keep a stock pile of local lumber (mostly red oak and walnut when it pops up). My only advice if you are working with rough cut lumber is to invest in a good planer and joiner (I know easier said than done). If anyone would like the exact plans I used I would be happy to send them to you.
