Nice, can't wait to see this creation. Know it's going to be nice.
Wife said it better be Cray. She been waiting a long time lol. I have a cousin down the road in the next county that has a sawmill, the log that this came out of was virgin pine and it was bout 20 feet long and no kidding it was bigger round than my truck.
Gdg, I had no idea you had such nice wood. That is some serious length and thickness right there. .......................
OMG!!!! This from the person who didn't get the weiner dog joke. :Rofl

It should Sammy. Are you just going to butt joint and glue the boards or are you going to make a rabbit joint....or are you going to butt and use bisquits? I use the bisquits a lot and really prefer that method.
Prolly gonna use the pocket hole just G. With wood glue. I have done em this way before and its so easy to do and fast. And as soon as you get it put together you dont have to wait. NO drying time.
To me, it is hard to beat butt with bisquits. It's really the best of both worlds. G really knows his stuff. Good luck gdg!
Not gonna do a whole lotta finishing on it G. Prolly sand it down to 220 and be done with it. She is wanting that antique look to it. Legs and runners will be antique black and I am thinkin Early American stain with a flat poly on the top.
Pocket hole is good to, it's helped a few times when I was in a jam.
Black legs are nice. What color is early American stain?Quote:

I bought some stain at Lowes a few years back and the color was "old pine" It was a good color.......I was doing some repair work in a old house that had 1X12 tounge and groove knotty pine on the walls. That stain matched perfectly.
Will have to check it out G.
