We were going to rent 5 farmhouse tables but the cost of renting was more than double the cost of building them myself plus by building them myself I could finish them the color that I wanted. We were then able to sell 4 of the 5. I kept one for my self. I also was able to build a smaller size one to custom fit my son and daughter in-law new house. Nothing like the satisfaction of building something for something so special.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
Roughly 125 per table.
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Base coat heavy Varathane Weathered Grey
Once that coat was dry I used a thin coat of minwax Jacobean to get in the cracks and holes and a layer of depth.
Topped it with minwax polycrylic matte finish.

How long...
...did it take to complete all of those tables?!? That was such a special thing to do for your son's wedding...and then for them to have a smaller version for themselves, I'm certain it will become a family heirloom passed down through the years! Those tables "made the look" for that entire setting! Just gorgeous! :)
