Fancy X farmhouse table and benches

Submitted by AUPatrick on Mon, 11/30/2015 - 09:55

This was my first project and I think it came out pretty nice.  I changed the plans slightly as I wanted the base to be made out of 4x4.  However, the only 4x4 you can by locally is treated, so I combined 2 2x4's and ran them through a jointer to get the look I wanted.  I also ran the table top pieces through a jointer so that the edges would not show.  This however made the top too narrow so I added a 2x4 to the top.  So, the top is 4 2x19 with 1 2x4 in the middle.

 

i can't wait to start my next project!
