Was planning on using pine. Thought about using maple for the top and pine for the base. But have to look at the cost.

About a 1 1/2 inches thick.

As far as connecting the top to the bottom I found a video that showed a really good way. But I'll have to go back and watch it. It used wood and glue so that the table could expand and contract.

kind of base are you planning

We just bought that exact table in the picture. Guy did good work. I did go with a true 2" thick top though. So that would be my advice, don't use 1/2", go with a true 2" or thicker top
