Table Ideas

I need a new table badly, something longer, bigger that can seat more people. I've been looking a little bit. Money is kinda tight so all the deal emails from World Market are sometimes enticing.

This table is interesting, looks nice and big. Cost - $529 - not too bad.










I've been to the Rebuilding Center here in Portland and they have a table that is gorgeous. It's constructed of reclaimed wood from deconstructed homes nearby. Good place to start, to get some ideas. This one is cost prohibitive at $1700! It is for a good cause though - supporting the Rebuilding Center and their programs.
I'd get the 72" table, the one shown here is probably 12'.



My dad is going to have some free time very soon and a new project is a opportunity to buy some new tools in his mind so I went to the library and got a set of plans for a trestle table that looks really nice. Cost unknown at this point.
