| White oak, 8/4, for the top (White Oak) ~$8/bd ft. Buy 20% more than the math says — you will reject boards for cup and defects. | 30 board feet | ☐ |

| Figure-8 tabletop fasteners The single most important hardware in this build. They let the top expand and contract while staying attached. | 10 each | ☐ |
