Modern Farmhouse Table

This week we finished this Modern Farmhouse Table for a returning client. Originally we planned on making an Outdoor Table but….due to COVID-19 delays it was going to be late summer. We decided instead to do a Dining Table for their home. We went off an inspiration pic from Birchlane and went from there.

The Table is 72″L x 39″W x 30″H and built in all Poplar Hardwood. The bench is 72″L x 18″W x 18″H also built in Poplar Hardwood. It’s a good solid Dining Table that’s going to last a long time. All hardwood wood builds are so beautiful, but the milling is a process. We have to mill each piece to the specific width we need then plane and joint each piece. So it takes a little longer, but worth it in the end.

The legs on the table are one of my favorite parts. The Table legs are 5″W and 1.875″ thick a nice Chucky and solid leg. The bench legs are 3″W and 1.875″thick made to match to the table legs of course. The bench was not included in the inspiration pic, so we had to design one to match. We knew we wanted it to be simple, same style legs but without the X in the middle. I think it would’ve just been to much for the bench.

The stain color we used is Flagstone by Varathane. This color is so beautiful! Perfect for a weathered and rustic look. It’s the first time I’ve ever used this color and I think I’ll be making myself a table in this color. 🙂

Here’s the inspiration pic we were going off.

And here’s my clients photo. It looks so good in it’s new home and so many memories will be made around it.
