I based this build on the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table found on this site. I fell in love with the table and I just had to build one!
This table is only 72" long, so I ended up removing the third pedestal. I also removed the decorative apron that is pictured in the original plan. I also added a picture frame border using 2x4's with 45 degree angles on the corners. I think I like how this look turned out! I kept the legs the same size as the original plan called for.
This entire build took me about a day and the staining process another 2-3 days. I stained the table top using Varathane's American Walnut stain and I painted the base using an off-white milk paint. But before painting the base, I stained the corners with the same American Walnut stain so that when I was ready to add the distressed look, I could simply just sand the paint until the stain appeared through the white.

Tapered Legs
Your table is beautiful!
Do you remember how you tapered your legs? I'm trying to figure out if I can do it without a table saw.
Thank you!
