My First DIY Farmhouse Table

Submitted by gablack83 on Fri, 05/24/2019 - 06:36

This is my first (but not last) large DIY project. My wife wanted a farmhouse style table but not the price that went with it. So while she took the LO out of town, I surprised her with this and she loved it. It's not as hard as it seem, but as a beginner, a lesson that I learned was to always cut the boards yourself to make sure the measurements are correct. Don't let a big brand named store cut your wood because, well, just because. I had to recut a few boards myself because of their lack of correct measuring. Other than that, this was fun.
