We bought and gutted the house a couple of years ago….spent over a year remodeling it and finally moved in last July. We spent months looking for a large (seat 10) plank oak dining table. Anything we found was too dark, too ornate, of just too gaudy! Also, anything halfway close to what we wanted that wasn’t made south of the border was unbelievably expensive!...and way out of our price range. We originally started our search with a couple of empty toilet boxes, a couple of 2X4’s and cardboard from the new fridge. We had already bought a set of 10 chairs we liked. We mocked up a table to set our size range and began the search. After months of searching furniture stores, antique malls, on-line, Canton trade days, etc. we gave up and decided to build it ourselves. I have never attempted anything like furniture/cabinet making before. I’ve built many things over the years but not like this. I had a vision of what I wanted so put pencil to paper and started designing.

That is really awesome. Great job and write up. How much? I know now why they cost so much! I don't even want to know how many hours I put into it....Spent about $200 on materials and $450 on a joiner, belt sander, and biscuit joiner. Easily less than $700 in the whole table.....excluding my time! I guess I work cheap!

Was trying to be funny, meant how much do you want for it? That table should be in your family long after you're gone. How cool for your great grandkids to say " my great-grandfather made it, you know I told you about him. The crazy one that used to pick up snakes".

I've already had four people try to place orders for one....I just smiled and told them, "You can't afford it!"
