My wife and I just moved and was in need of a new dining room table. We looked around at local furniture stores but she was unable to find exactly what she wanted. Due to lack of space I have not built furniture for years. This new house has given me the opportunity to begin again. She wanted a rustic farm table. I found the plan on ana-white.com for a narrow farm table and modified the plan to fit our needs. Instead of screws and nails, I used a joiner, wood biscuits and glue. I also used the plan to make two identical benches. My wife wants to buy two old chairs for the end rather than making them. This is easy to do at flea markets in the area we live. The wood was purchased at a local Home Depot. I used a chain, hand saw, screw driver, hatchet, and scratch awl to make the old, used, beaten look. Mission Oak polystain was used for the color. I am so excited to be building again.
