Project Plans: Dining Table - Duluth Gave Me A Kick In The Pants!

I mentioned in my last post that I'm working with Duluth Trading Co.  They're giving me a kick in the pants to get a project completed and I have ambitiously picked TWO that I've been wanting to get done for awhile.

The second project...a dining table!  My current dining table is not something I chose and it's not my style at all.  Quite awhile ago, I found these plans on Ana White's amazing blog (link below the picture) for this X picnic table.

Confession:  I've never built furniture before, so I know I was being very ambitious when I picked this table out as my dining table project.   But!  I thought I would give it a shot.

Then, I found this table and knew right away that this is the table I would make!

I had been eyeballing those Ikea Lerberg Trestle legs for awhile (I wanted to use them for my studio's work tables, but I thought they took up too much room underneath the tables) and love that this has the "rustic industrial" look that I really like.

So, as soon as I can get help to go get the wood for both projects (it'll be hard to get the wood home in my Mustang and I don't want to have them cut down at the store), I'll get started.  Can't wait!  Wish me luck!

I hope you've already entered Duluth's Kick In The Pants contest!  The prizes will definitely help kick your project in gear!
