This was my second project......it came out of necessity. We had a dining room with no furniture. I wanted a table that would stand the test of time. A place where we could eat, do homework and enjoy making memories. We have 4 little ones so a sturdy table was a must! All the tables I looked at were cheaply made or WAY over our budget. I found a wonderful couple in Ann Arbor where I purchased my wood. I had them assemble the top, (8 1x6's) since I do not have the equipment to plane and sand a top that large. The rest I did a little at a time.
I am very pleased with the result!
I modified the plans to fit our needs.......the changes are as follows: I did not make bread board ends, and my width is 44.5 in.
My next phase of this dining room is to build a buffet and hutch......I always juggle about three projects at a time so my realistic goal will be Thanksgiving!
