    Looking for ideas for a patio table and bench seats using some spalted maple I found

    I would like some ideas on using 7 12'x15"x2" spalted maple planks. These are still rough sawn without the bark on the edges.
    I'm not sure about the legs mostly and should I use the maple or find some nice log legs(Not a problem). She also would like bench seats and again I have the leg questions.
    The maple is around 15%(would like at least 10%) now but I'm afraid if I resaw the boards the center may still be higher. I like the idea of 2" or 1 1/2" table top with rough edges.
    I could cut up a couple boards and make legs is the other idea.
    The area will be covered but a strong weather finish will be required.
    Has anyone seen pictures I could look at to get an idea.
    Thanks

    Have you considered a harvest table? Lots of images on google.
