I used 2x2s for the base and stained them ebony. The top is made of 2x6s stained weathered oak & dark walnut. Caution: no matter how perfectly square your base is, if your top is even remotely warped/twisted, it will pull the whole thing out of whack. The base is not strong enough to fight the 2x6s.
