I'm tagging @ygmg since she posted a link in a ML thread that inspired this whole thing. He built the table that was the inspiration for her post. The bench is not attached - the tops of the table and bench are reclaimed barn wood from a building on the farmsite DH grew up on.
Two weekends. He started prepping and cutting boards the weekend of the 5th and 6th. Went full bore on it last weekend and put a coat of wax on it last night. The top is only polyurethane so it's the natural wood coming through.
That's incredible. I'm so impressed and also a tad envious. I wish my H or I had the talent for that kind of thing! I took a woodworking class once and loved it. Great stuff.
The history of the materials is wonderful, too. Enjoy it!
