I made a few changes to the Farmhouse Bench plans as I wanted to match the design of the table. Most notably, I lengthened the seat boards to replace the breadboard end caps. This made my total length 67″, the perfect size to fit under the table if needed. The width was changed to 15″ and the height remained 18″.

loving your finish! Did you not use a pre-stain conditioner?

Pre-stain conditioner
I did. Being that it was cheap pine, I used Minwax pre-stain conditioner as directed on the label.
