My First Table!

  My First Table

I made this table with the help of Ana White @ ana-white.com the farmhouse table plans. I used all recycled fence materials. Painted backing rails for the main frame of the table and unpainted, weathered pickets for the top.

Here you can see the notching that I had to do for the base of the table. That took me about 4 hours to do all the notching, it wasn't perfect, but it was my first time.

This picture shows the supports under the table top.

  I sanded the table top after I built it and left it with some of the gray weathered look, I love it.

I love the bread board ends. Ana used a larger board, I wanting to stick with my recycled fencing, so I  choose to use the same pickets I used for the rest of the table top.

My finished table measured 38" x 70". Now I have to decide how I would like to finish the top!
