That brings up a good question; are we going to have ourselves as Order of the Marshal, or separate knights? I'm not sure where I'll end up for encampment, but I'm guessing the 'War of Roses & Burgundians' area based on my 'lots of plate' favoritism. I can bring the Marshal gonfalon. Do we want to propose any scheduled long sword demos? Or some random improv? I'm not sure I'll make the whole 'patrons' part of the day in harness, but I'm a stubborn little mule, so I'm going to give it a shot. :)
I've been trying to think of what I can logistically fit inside my own tent, but since I just ordered it last week, and it won't arrive until September, it's pushing up to crunch time on trying to make last-minute furniture and seeing if it fits in the tent and truck, too.
Let's talk a bit offline on coordinating people / stuff / transporting / camping / etc. Despite finding a puddle in my yard yesterday when I got home, due to a leaking water line that needs a replacement (worth 2 average albions - ugh!!), I'm still going to push to make DoK, even if it involves a credit card. We have a lot of different options for camping / setup / etc, and some details on my end are still fuzzy.
Sir Patrick:
Here's a finish recipe I've used on many woodworking projects to get an aged look.
Equal parts white vinegar, linseed oil, and turpentine.
Rub it on with a cloth (probably will take 2-3 coats). Finish by rubbing on some minwax paste wax with cheesecloth. If using a high grained wood like oak, a short stint under a hood with ammonia prior to using the oil will really bring out the grain.
Sir Wolf:
easy table ideas. 2 plain pine boards lay across these.
i will look for my pattern and get you dimensions.
do you see my bench behind the tables? in pics 1 and 4, they are like yours Sir James, thin out your lower cross member a little bit or put a design in it ehhehe
Sir Wolf:
other table ideas
Ian:
Here's a message Joe Metz sent me on FB that contains some useful links for obtaining chairs/chests/tables etc.

A table by itself (I recommend the trestles from Medieval Oak with some simple boards across the top) and/or a chair http://www.smoke-fire.com/wood-items-furniture-1.asp make for a quick and easy presentation set-up. These are the vendors I have used:)
