First Build at the Farm

Submitted by angmorfeld on Thu, 05/09/2013 - 07:00

We just moved to a farm and luckily the house has a wood shop! So we chose to do this farm house table as our first build at our new house. It was so much fun....and it was a great project for my husband and I to work on together! Total working time was about 10 hours, that did not include the time it took for the stain to dry and the poly to set. I am incredibly impatient and probably applied the poly over the stain too early, but with a project like a "rustic farmhouse table", the imperfections from my haste go unnoticed. Next build: barn doors.

Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)

Minwax Early American, 2 coats. Top coat of Minwax Wipe on Poly, 3 coats.
