White Oak and Steel Kitchen Table

 

We wanted a big new kitchen table to go along with our new breakfast nook. I wanted something heavy, made from white oak, and with a contrasting beefy steal based. I love how this came together - particularly the white oak with Rubio Monocoat in Cotton white. Be sure to watch the video to see how I built it. There is a 3D Sketchup model available under the Free Design Files tab.
