From Magazine Cover to My Home

Hey there everyone!!
If you have the August issue of Southern Living magazine, you will see a table on the cover. Well, as soon as my husband saw this table, he took out pencil and paper and sketched out the dimensions and then proceeded to make it! The entire table was made from black walnut which he cut himself. He stained it using Special Walnut by Minwax, then applied a couple of coats of tung oil and voila! A duplicate that I think looks better than the one in the magazine. He is in the process of making another one out of river birch which he cut from downed trees in our neighborhood. I think he's a keeper!!

Please ignore the high chair in the picture. After all, grandma's house has to have all the essentials too!
