We made this table using the Rekourt Farmouse table plan. We used wider boards for the table top and simplified the angles on the legs a bit. We also built benches for each side of the table and dressed the ends with formal dining chairs. Used Dark Walnut Minwax stain and a clear satin epoxy to coat the top and bench seats. Had issues attaching the breadboards even with a Kreg Jig, Would probably do better if we did it all over again but totally happy with how it turned out.

I didn't use the diagonal support beams. 1x12 for the top of the bench.

I didn't use the diagonal support beams. 1x12 for the top of the bench. Adjusted the length to make sure it fit right under the table in between the legs. Extremely sturdy without the diagonal supports.
