My brother recently became a homeowner and asked me to build him a dining table for his new (and first) house. He picked out the Farmhouse Table plan from the site and I spent a few weekends building this table for him. The most time consuming part of the project was sanding and applying the stain & polyurethane.

Finish Used
They wanted a red-toned finish so I blended Minwax sedona red and dark walnut oil based stain, followed up with a light coat of minwax gel stain in Hickory. Also used Helmsman Spar Urethane in clear satin for top coat.
