Okay so it has been raining off and on for...since my last post a day here and there of clear weather but not enough for what I need. The soil is super saturated with water right now making it a quicksand trench.
So I decided to start a different project an indoor one making a coffee table and two end tables. They can be combined into one large square coffee table or any combination you can think of. If y'all want I can make a separate thread of materials cut lengths lessons learned type of deal. I think it's a pretty straight forward project though.

The inspirational design I found online

Now for the breakdown, sanding and staining process.
