Super duty picnic table

Well done. Looks very stout.

Ohhh, this is beautiful.

Nice Dan. I like the trestle design.
I could use some non rotting wood back east!

I will bet it is very heavy. Excellent job.

Lifetime of memories to be made on that.

That should outlast you! And probably don’t want to move it around too often. Hedge may be tough to work with but you created a very nice table/benches unit!

I don’t think this table is going to run off anywhere. It’s nice work and very creative.

Thank you, one and all.
Yes, the table is very heavy, estimated at 250 lbs. The benches are another 80 lbs each. The top comes off without tools, having been installed into French dovetails that secure it for lifting.

That looks terrific Dan. You’ve mentioned the top being held by French dovetails, but how is the rest held together?

I’ve got some big thick maple branches, and a new HF sawmill, and I’d like to mill them for something like this.
