I want to make a smallish table / kitchen-cart that will go into the semi-covered patio. (That is, the top is covered but rain splashes in at times. )
So I thought I should use some weather resistant wood, beyond Cedar. Maybe Teak or Cumaru or Acacia
Trouble is, that type of wood is not easy to find, or cheap.
But I did find it at flooring shops, selling solid hardwood for floors, satisfying all my needs: 3/4" thick, around 4 to 5" wide, and about 3 to 4 ft long. And by my calculation, much cheaper than exotic wood at lumber stores.
So any ideas on how it'd work out? I am not just taking the table top, but also for all of it: the legs, the aprons, the shelves, etc. Any problems I am not seeing?
