Ooooh, turned out great! I made a barn wood harvest table recently, and it was such a fun project. It is great that you added a dollar total to it also, that is really helpful for people who want to try it but don’t know how to start.

I was on Hometalk when I saw your table and so dang thrilled with your design that I went a little crazy with the comment I left there. Thing is, this table is amazing for my home and for my church that I just had to let every know what your smart brain created and how it could be used in so many ways . I especially like the live edge for my home and a smaller version in areas where a unique table is needed at church but we have put off buying them due to cost. Now I can make different versions of your table to meet many needs. Here is what I posted on Hometalk, sorry, didn’t want to type it all out again as it is lengthy due to knowing my needs at the church we haven’t been able to solve, just got carried away, lol Again, thank you so very much for your creative brain coming up with this versatile table that is so much better and easier to store than those bulky, ugly Sam’s tables.
Hometalk comment -This is an awesome idea that could be used in so many ways! I decorate for meals and events at the church often and while the white plastic tables are easy to fold up and put away they just are not very pretty so have to be covered. While I use mostly white tablecloths with a clear plastic cover over them and decorations on top. I really like to use colored or patterned on serving tables because you can’t add many decorations and just hate to cover them with the clear (sort of) plastic. Of course a little food is always spilled on them so they have to be treated and cleaned. Now your table just like it is would be perfect for our many casual or rustic meals and events but we could make some that are white, cream or any color with painted on color designs and that would end the pain of trying to keep the serving clothes stain free, especially on the drink table! Oh wow, on that table we could also easily paint different areas and label them for the sweet tea and the unsweet, it is always a problem and every asks anyone standing near by, which one is sweet, it would solve the problem to have it painted on the table!! Also easier to store and we could actually make them skinnier and shorter for all the areas where we need a small table temporary or not, gosh, ideas are flowing for so many variations on this table for home and at the church, so sorry about that! The thing that has always held me back on getting wood tables for all the needs we have is cost of course and storage problems, this solves both those problems! I would have to add an extra movable brace to clamp down to ensure the top would not slide, as many older folks lean on the tables as they walk along filling their plates and I would need to ensure that it didn’t slide.Thanks so very much – again sorry for writing a book, just got excited and the ideas are running like crazy!

Thanks Jenna! It really was so easy- I’m tempted to do a coffee table the same way!
