Lots of projects going on around here, but today I’m sharing my farmhouse dining table I built a little over a year ago (waaay before this blog!). This was my very first woodworking project. I did happen to snap a few photos of the process – sorry about the poor quality, these were taken with my phone!
The wood for building this table was around $100! I think Pottery Barn was selling this table for around $1800 at the time. Mine might not look identical, but for the cost differential, I’m a happy camper!
For the stain I really wanted to create a natural-looking aged finish so I used the old steel wool and vinegar treatment.
