Just bought a Large Egg and almost done with my table

Fifty150

I bought a large Big Green Egg at the Eggfest in Upland, CA last Saturday. Its still in the box in my garage while I build the table. The table is almost done and I should be cooking on Saturday for the first time. I've been lurking for about 6 months while I convinced my wife I needed a BGE. Can't hardly wait as I've been trying to get this table done. I borrowed some tools, saw, router etc and downloaded the table plan from the nakedwhiz website. Used red oak and it turned out ok for a total amateur. [IMG]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k628/fify150/1359c643baa60a3bfaf11512836e9e23.jpg[/IMG]

Nice. That's my next project. I'm tired of the nest.

@Fifty150 I was there at the EggFest in Upland!  My 1st one!  Had a great time!  Love the classes and the food was awesome!  Glad to see you finally break down and get an EGG!  Kudos!  Enjoy!

Welcome! That is a good looking table. Are you sure you are an amature? Your table looks almost exactly like mine. It was difficult to do - but when I was at this point, I completely disassembled mine and put three coats of spar varnish on all surfaces of every part of it. I put extra coats on all the end grain. It was a week of coating, drying, turning and on and on.... but now I am completely water resistant. It's something to consider.
