Living in California, reclaimed lumber is hard to find and it is expensive! I called and researched places that sold reclaimed wood. There wasn’t too many to pick from in the LA metro area. We ended up driving out to the valley where this guy had a huge garage/yard full of lumber. We choose Michigan Oak that was used in a subfloor of a barn. I am guessing its 60 to 80 years old. For the price of my dining room table & 8 chairs – I got a truck load of lumber. Seems reasonable!! 
Oh the projects we could make!!!!
The wood sat in our back yard for about 6 months while we gathered the right tools, additional lumbar, etc….and while my husband came up with a plan for the construction. Then, one day in September, it happened, the table started coming together. 
We constructed it in 2 sections.
I am not going to write too much detail on the construction. If you want to build one, leave me a comment, and I can send more detailed instructions 🙂
I love that the table seats 14 people! 5 on each side and 2 on each end.
I bought a new chandelier to go over the table – that was a project in itself. I ordered it from Amazon. I really like it – it just took a long time to rewire everything because the wire it came with was way to short. It is really bright and sparkly! This is me adding each crystal one at a time!
Turned out gorgeous! What a transformation of your dining room. Love it!
that’s a stunning dining room and I love Marbles — we had a Bengal cat that looked a lot like him a few years ago.
Gorgeous!! I love how it looks with the contrasting fancy chandelier.
You now have my dream table. I have not had the nerve to ask my husband to do the same project. I can just hear him saying, “What wrong with the table we have”? Your table is wonderful and just in time for Thanksgiving. Oh, I could just give your husband a big Grandma Hug. I know that he put a lot of love into this and that you will have years to enjoy many wonderful meals gathered around it with friends and family. Love the mixed matched chairs, too.
Absolutely perfect 🙂
Your blogging sister, Connie 🙂

This is my dream table….plans?
I love your table, I want a longer one to go into my large dining room.. l use to have a 10′ table and chairs I loved but sold them when I had to deploy a few years ago. We lost our barn in a tornado last November and I have the wood to do this, could you share more detailed instructions with me? I love all your decorating and the hodgepodge of chairs.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I’m glad you like my table – it was a labor of love. I am sorry to hear about your loosing your barn – but how cool if you can make something from the wood you will always cherish. We kind of made up the table as we went. First, we joined the top slats together in two sections using a joiner, wood glue and wood biscuits. The legs were constructed separately. When we moved the table in, we first moved the leg unit, then placed the top on and secured it together. It weighs a ton. If you want more info, let me know and I can put my husband on more detailed instructions! Hugs!
