Used Ana White's Husky Farmhouse Table plans/instructions and then made some of my own modifications to make the legs removable and expand the dimensions a bit. Turned out pretty good! This was my first project :)
Estimated Cost
~600 dollars. Had to buy some tools.
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Dark Walnut Min Wax Stain, water based
I used wood conditioner before the stain to ensure even staining, then 1 coat of the stain, then did 3 coats of thinned Polyurethane finish (3 to 1 ratio of finish to mineral spirits), and 2 coats of pure polyurethane finish. The polyurethane is Min Wax satin finish.

Beautiful table
Wow! She's a beauty! I am interested to hear how you went about making the legs removable. And where did you get those legs? They are stunning.
