I had an attorney friend that wanted a specific sized table for her deck. This is what I came up with. All of the lumber was from old posts/boards that I salvaged and cleaned up. They cleaned up pretty well. Got a nice little commission off this piece. She chose to leave the table natural to allow it to weather to match her other deck furniture. Thought that a shame I think it’s pretty like this.

Nice. Real nice. I have a bunch of cedar from when I replaced my deck. I may ‘borrow’ your design.

I like it. The wood cleaned up really well and I agree, it looks too nice to let weather.

I like this a lot, Betsy. As a matter of fact, I have just added it to my “must do one of these” list.

Thanks Rob! I don’t recall the exact dimensions seems like it was 42” long by 18” wide. The lady I made it for had a odd sized cutout on her deck that she wanted this table to fit – hence the size. If it were mine, I think I would have made it a bit wider – maybe 24”.
Karson – I saw your plant stand. You sure get talked into a lot of stuff——- must be a pushover! I think it’s great though how much time you give to projects for other people – especially the kids. And all the help you give on this forum, I know is very much appreciated.
Thanks for looking at my projects.

I’ve made 6 of them and have at least 2 more to go and waiting on some more cypress cedar. I’ll probably make one out of Saple for the cabinet shop that is giving me the cutoff wood for the toy club.
And my wife doesn’t have one yet.
