Decided not to go with the original Table top design and went with 2x8's with a frame out. the Legs are nearly the same but I went with a bit longer angles to give it a more robust stance. I used Espresso colored stain but washed it out with a sock on the legs to not allow the gloss to set in and allow the natural design of the wood to show through. The top is actually darker than the legs BUT i wanted to accent the legs since that is what makes the table.
