The bench was constructed from some very hard and dense #2 Southern Pine. I cut down 2x6x10′ lumber into 1½ x 2½ strips. I glued up 3 strips at a time and hand planed both sides. I then glued the section into 2 larger section and finally glued the 2 section together. I finish planed both sides of the table ending up with a 2 ¼ thick top. The pedestal legs were constructed from 3 pieces of 2×6 lumber, then cut down and planed to 4″ square. The pedestal feet were constructed from 2×6 lumber and cut a planed to 4″ thick by 5″ high. The bench weights a ton which is one of the items I was looking for in the finished product. The table top finished out at 32″ x 90″.
