I've got a few years experience doing carpentry work . I was asked if I could build a farm table for a friend of mine. So I gave it a go. I think for my first table to ever build from scratch, it turned out beautiful . I'm extremely happy with the outcome.
Estimated Cost
$170.00
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Used a flat paint ( teal & burnt orange ) bushed on randomly over the entire piece. Then I used some white semi gloss in places to add some high lights. ( stain wipes off of semi gloss paints and does not dull the finish) then stained over top of everything.
Stain color- minwax Jacobean
Then 2 coats of minwax semi gloss polyurethane .
Apply 1st coat after it completely dried I used 0000 steel wool to sand it all again for any impurities to get a clean smooth finish. Then apply another coat of poly.
