I had three vintage farm tables, two were very old and not as visually appealing as they once had been (they passed right by shabby and went straight to homely....), but I still loved them and couldn't bear to throw out all that fantastic weather beaten wood. 

I also had a vintage farmhouse door that had some panels that didn't want to stay attached.  So I designed a one of a kind table.  The door still serves as the "frame", there are pieces of all three tables, including the legs, joined together to make one long beautiful work table.......or as I like to call it, My Desk!!

Many thanks to my parents (Dad for hard labor and carpentry skills, Mom for design input and execution).  I am thrilled with the results.
