I was going to make the Farmhouse Table but then, after seeing the cost of oak lumber, decided to make this table from a sheet of oak plywood, and some thin oak edging glued and nailed to the edge. I picked up some nice steel inserts to use in corners to attach the legs (from http://www.rockler.com/steel-threaded-inserts-select-size). Fun and easy project!
