I wanted to try attempt the beam table and my son's wedding rehearsal dinner was the perfect reason. My wife liked the table so much, she asked me to make three more. Because they will be used in our new wedding venue business, I wanted them to to withstand the weather. The materials were quite a bit more expensive as I used 10 ft x 3 ft x 2 3/8" thick redwood butcher block planks for the tops and cedar 4 x 4's for the bases. Stained and sealed with Cabot sealant. What do you think?
