Noah, the table looks great, I love the breadboard . Could you tell me a little about the materials and methods you used in joining the panel to the ends?

It is just rough cut pine that's been kiln dried. My buddy's dad runs a lumber yard here local and he has a jointer and all the associated tools needed for joining things together to make a nice table top. I can't take the credit for how well the construction turned out, that was all him! Having the right tools for the job!

I actually ordered the legs from a company a couple hours west of me. Hickory, NC is known for furniture building and several folks from my mom's side made their living in the furniture industry. There's a company based there that does nothing but table legs. I was able to get a matching set for the table and the benches.

The legs and side reinforcement boards are all fastened to the top with GRK fastener trim screws.
