I wanted a really long table for my dining room to use at family gatherings so I can host more dinners. This table is 9 feet long and has plenty of space for our needs. I used knotty pine and finished it with Minwax Espresso wood stain. I then added 1 coat of polyurethane as I didn't want the table to appear shiny but still wanted some protection in case of spills.
This project was definitely a labour of love but I'm thrilled with the results.
