I made this table for my sister's Lake House. It isn't from a specific plan but I used many techniques and tips from Ana White's site to build it. The inspiration came from a table my sister and her husband saw at a Vineyard in Napa Valley. I bought the 4 legs 5" X 5" from Osborne Wood Products Inc. but all the other wood is just builders grade pine. My sister wanted a trestle table, I was a bit worried about stability but this table is rock solid! The table top measures 48" x 90" exactly the size to fit their new dining room! It hangs 12" out from the base all around. I stained it with Minwax Golden Oak oil based stain and finished it with Minwax Polycrylic.
Estimated Cost
$300
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
I stained the table with Minwax oil based Golden Oak, two coats allowing the stain to dry completely between coats. I finished it with Minwax Polycrylic.
