Flecks of… Gray?

A week or more ago, a small wind blew through our back yard, heaved our umbrella that was mounted in the middle of the back deck’s glass top table and when it leaned over, it brought the entire table top crashing and crumbling down with it. After cleaning glass shards out of the corners and nethers of our deck, I was committed to not having another glass top table and I thought for some reason that I might be able to actually put together a wood top one.

With some amazing tools from my brother and some ideas from the internets, I found the inspiration and the means to make myself a decent table top. I’m pretty happy with the final results seeing as how I haven’t made anything out of wood in a really long time but like any project, I feel like all the mistakes are glaring at me and anyone who looks at it.

Oh well. It will be a great place to have our sunny lunches and even with some decent wind; I’m not expecting this thing to crack…
