Great Looking table and benches!! I really think they look great. I'm still 
 concerned about wood movement, but you guys will deal with that later. Its 
not a  matter of if, but when and how much cracking will happen.

If you will  recall over the course of the spring and summer I made mention 
of another  table we were building.  I may have even tossed in some 
construction  photos.  We finally finished it the end of August.  This time we had  
some issues with the Urethane that I think were possibly directly related 
to  the stain we used.  If we do this again I think as soon as the wood is  
selected we will immediately start making samples and experimenting with the  
final finish.  In the end the owner was extremely pleased so that is all  
that matters. 
To bring you  up to date the finished size was 47” by 118” or just under 4 
foot by 10  foot.  It is just a fuzz under 3” thick.  We also did 2 benches 
for  one side, they are roughly 4 feet long and 2 feet wide.    
It was  delivered the labor day weekend to “the cabin”.    
The pictures  are self explanatory, the table is in its final home. 
More  pictures of the build etc can be found here

I still  haven’t captioned the photos, so this table starts just after the 
picture of  the bench for the first table sitting in the kitchen.    
I spent  almost one whole weekend putting the shop back together after 
getting that  beast out of there.  Since then I have been busy with home 
projects,  solving a bird problem and getting things ready for winter.  I’ve got a  
couple of little projects in the shop I am putzing with and it looks like 
the  semi-big project of the year is adding a loft to the future SIL’s pole  
building.  This was a bit fun to engineer.  He did not want a post  to hold 
up the one corner, so I looked into supporting it off of the  trusses.  My 
neighbor has a buddy that has built pole buildings for years  so I talked to 
Jack and found out the right way to do it.  It is probably  slightly 
overbuilt but it is rock solid and although I don’t know that we  should have an 
elephant dance on it I suspect we could have a small barn dance  J
