Farm Table Top...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Friday!  I thought I'd share with you something I've been working on but haven't finished  yet.  I have several projects going on at once.  I need to pick up paint for the kitchen island, but I haven't quite made a decision on what color, so I've put that on hold until this weekend, so I've moved on to a couple of other things, including a gift for my cousin's daughter for her college graduation and of course Mother's day (both of which I can't share with you yet).  So instead I'll show you my version of a Farm Table.  I'm making this for my display area.  I'm not finished with it yet because I haven't decided on the right legs for it yet.  I have a couple of ideas so that it can be easily taken down and moved when it needs to be.





This is 100% recycled from the farm.  The center boards still have the bolts in it from when they where apart of a large swing gate that was used to sort cattle but has since been decommissioned and were just hanging out in the old corn crib, so I repurposed them without changing them much.
Now I just need to go through my stash of wood to find the "right" legs.  Nothing spoke to me earlier, but I haven't checked all of my wood storage yet.  I'll find them, I know they are out there just waiting for me to find them.  Thanks for stopping by.

  8. We had a 12' farm table that had these hinged legs. All three sets. It was so vesitile for storage and its SIZE. It had a hook-and-eye latch to keep it locked when it was in use. Beautiful finish on yours!
