My son Steve made a picnic table with our lumber for my son Mark. I am posting a picture of it here
. It is awesome. It is made with all treated lumber, not just the legs. It is put together with screws and not nails. It is braced so that it is not wobbly or weak in any way. It is heavy! Two men loaded it on the trailer, father and son; took 2 women and 2 men to unload it when we got it home. It was easier to load then unload. We wanted a large, good sturdy table for our summer cook-outs. This table has 8 foot long and 12 inch wide seats that also have an underlip; the table top is 10 foot long. It is doubly braced on the legs and has cross beams underneath because of the length of the table. The seats also were made so that they will not slump or warp over time.
