Walnut top farmhouse Table

Farmhouse table with walnut top and breadboard ends.  Edges of boards were put together with tonque and grove.  I use a router to do that and I used a router for the breadboard ends.  I have the ends held in with three dowls. The walnut made this an expensive project.  The wood for the top was around $600. 2 by 6 pine boards could be used instead for a lot less money.  I wanted to try something that required more advance woodworking skills such as tongue and grove and mortise and tenon.  It took awhile and I had plenty of mistakes tyring to get it right. I have built similar tables using pocket hole screws but I found that the boards tended to seperate and or crack over time. I did not use glue on this table top as I want the wood to be able to expand and contract without splitting.
