The table is 86”x39”. There is an additionl 20” company board that is not shown in the photo, making the table almost 9’ long. It is constructed from soft maple with the top being wormy soft maple. After applying a shellac wash coat, I used General Finish gel stain (2 colors). A base coat of Candlelight followed by a second wash coat and Java to darken it a little. Final finish is satin water base polyurethane.
I am lucky to live 5 miles from a lumber mill that has a great selection of both locally harvested and some exotic woods. I prefer to use local native species for most of my projects. Also note the hardwood floor. This is red oak that we also purchased from the mill.

Very nice table. You did fool me with the small picture…..I thought the white table cloth was an inlay or seperate wood insert.
