My father-in-law built this beautiful table for us from Central Oregon lodge-pole pine. He hand-milled and built the table over a period of 25 days. It was inspired by SouleMama's harvest table. I love that we now have a place to gather as a family that was made from wood where both Shane and I grew up and made with love by someone dear to us. As a small gesture of thanks, the kids and I baked his favorite treat, two lemon meringue pies (tricky but they turned out great). When I sit at this table I can't help smile and think about the many family gatherings, birthday parties and arts and crafts that will take place around this table throughout the years. It will be a beloved piece of my children's childhood and, I hope, part of their children's as well.
What a beautiful table and how wonderful that it was hand made by your FIL - something to treasure for generations!
