I haven’t made any outdoor furniture except PT utility type stuff. I have a client that wants a Big Green Egg table. I’m thinking about White oak or cedar, or cedartone from Menards (speaking of which, is that stuff colored through the board so if I joint/plane it will it remove the color?).

Any articles or suggestions on what to do and what to avoid?

For instance any special requirements for gluing up the top? Or space boards them like a deck? Recommended finishes? Any acclimation needed or time required before finishing?

I’d plan to use Sipo Dominos for structural joints.
