Oak table for the garden

Has anyone ever used an oak dining table for a garden table? Just wondering what is weathers like? And if it would last ok outside? Thinking of giving it a whitewash grey look. Looking for advice before I purchase a second hand one. Thanks

    This is great! Are you planning on putting a sealer on, too? I love the sound of the whitewash grey look.

    If you are planning to leave a garden table out in all weathers, ideally the planks of the top would have small gaps running between them to allow for the inevitable swelling and shrinkage of the wood. So a table like this would show some shaping pretty quickly if left outside. But maybe that's the look you want? If you sanded back the wax or varnish, oak won't take long too long to get the silvered look - maybe a season? Good luck with your search!

    I want it to look aged but don't want it warping, good point about having the gaps, think I'll have to look for something like that. Not sure an old dining table will work then. Thanks for your advice.
