My first real build!

This started with me just slapping some wood together to see what I could do, then ended up with a beautiful (in my opinion) kitchen table. The table frame, legs, and base are all 2x4’s. The table top itself are all 1x4’s. I sanded down all the way to a 3,000 grit (yes, I said 3,000) and got the table top incredibly smooth. Plus, using the 3,000 grit paper really seemed to bring out the natural grain in the wood. I had a lot of fun with this build as it was my first real project. I also had a helper in this build. His name is Dr. Spencer Reid. He’s lazy and doesn’t do much but he is there for moral support. And lovins. 🐈
