My favorite build so far! This large dining table seats 8 comfortably. Since my budget has only allowed me to work with Pine/Whitewood which is notorious for staining blotchy, I've taken to staining the boards that will be most visible when finished before I use them. That way I can pick out the ones that took the stain best and leave the ones that didn't to make up the inner frame or someplace not as visible. Because of that I had lots of leftover scrap stained wood and that is what provided the inspiration for this table.
