I have a client who has approved the attached drawing for a table with benches in their porch. The porch is covered but not heated (Chicago). She like Walnut for the wood. I've drawn it with a 4 inch apron and 2 - 4 inch cross members to provide stability. Attach top to this frame with figure 8's. Legs are to be metal (from Symmetry) and screwed to the top. I think this is all good (but you'll let me know!). I'm a little worried about this being 'outside'. It won't get rain or snowed on but we have quite a temperature variation in Chicago. My little bit of reading tells me that wood 'moves' more due to moisture than it does temperature. I plan to finish with Waterlox.
Walnut ok?
Other wood?
Other finish?
Thanks as usual.
