Back onto the dining room table! As a reminder, we are starting with 2 pallets
that I got for free from my work, which appeared to be hardwood.
And the plan is to make a dining room table with a trestle
base that has a rustic feel and accentuates the nail holes and knots of the
wood.
We started with the most exciting part of the project,
planing the boards that will become the top of the table. We were unsure if they were all the same
species or if they were going to be flat enough to not create a horribly warped
tabletop.
All in all, there were 3 Red Oak and 2 White Oak boards. We moved them around, flipped them over and
swapped their orientation many, many times to get the best looking boards in
the best looking order.
