DIY FARM TABLE

I saw this image in a recent issue of Country Living, the table was made from reclaimed wood with free plans from Ana White this is when the wheels in my head started to creak.  It's all straight lines, how hard could it be?  Did you know Home Depot will cut all your wood for free?  No, they won't cut your salvaged barn wood, but you could try to replicate the finish if you were resourceful. I don't have a garage here so I can't really figure out the best place to take on a wood working project, not that something like space has stopped me before. I built my extra large coffee table and farm benches in my upstairs living room once, granted my downstairs neighbor was elderly and hearing impaired.  I also don't have a lot of time as setting up the studio again is going to be all consuming. So I looked up handyman/carpenters in my area and sent the image and plans link to them. I figure this could be done in a few hours and a local person may have their finger on the pulse of where to get some termite-free  barn wood. I'll keep you posted if I get any quotes that won't have me selling my designer dogs on the roadside.
