DIY Dinning Table

We had been searching and searching for the perfect dining table. In our budget, we were not finding anything we were in love with. So, we finally decided to make our own.
We purchased five 2″ x6′ of Douglass fir for the top, 1″ x 5″ of pine for the apron and 4″ x4″s for the legs. Using a palm sander, we sanded down the boards for the top and rounded the corners. Then I used a chisel on the corners and edges to give it a worn look.
For the table top we used Minwax Special Walnut stain. We finished with four coats of Minwax Water Based Polycrylic.
I love the way this table has turned out. One of my favorite projects I have ever done!
Enjoyed the project?
