DIY Farm Table From Reclaimed Lumber

About a year ago, my husband and I found a post on The Art of Manliness detailing how to build your own farm table in just two weeks. We absolutely loved it. We decided then that we wanted to do it in time for our 2013 Thanksgiving dinner.
Well, it took us longer than two weeks because we made the table from reclaimed lumber and acquiring that was a little time consuming. But, here are some pictures of how this project turned out for us! Feel free to check out how we made it using the blog link below!
This is our finished table without the wings attached. It seats 6-8 people without the wings and 10-12 with them. It's a bit of a bear of a table.
This is our first time using it during our Thanksgiving dinner.
My husband and I made sure to sign our work before we sealed the wood.

    I like the idea of signing your art. My Bubba is a woodworking genius. I hope he'll start signing his work. He does sign the things he makes for me or us.
