Well from some fairly intensive beer and bbq testing  smiley_beertoast we know that the table will hold up half a decent sized beast 8 hefty folk and 2 littl'uns

My old table was not as rugged as yours Trev, and it held up some good sized folk that frequented the lunch room. Mine was made out of spruce. ;D

It's not a hardwood, but some Lawson cypress (Port Orford cedar) would work well for that sort of thing.

Otherwise Redwood or Macrocarpa are a couple of other species that would be fine. Dont know how you are going to sneak a redwood out of your local forest though  cut_tree ........  bat_smailey

You could do it out of one of the Eucalypts... as long as you never wanted to move it  :D

Well its only been a couple of days since we made it and we already have orders for more  :D How durable do you think a poplar top would be ? I've seen it used as kitchen and wall panels and it looks really nice. Thinking I might spice up the next one, even talk of seats on the ends of the table too ::)

Poplar is not thought to be a good wood for outside use.  It will probably disappoint you.

Yup.. Poplar outside in NZ climate.. prolly last about 6 months  ::)

Lawson or Mac would be the best / easiest to get hold of locally.
