My family wanted a big farmhouse-style table on a budget, along with a matching bench. This was a really fun one weekend project and the first one I tackled with my brand new SawStop PCS. The table was built to seat 8 people and be wide enough to have a “shared item” area in the middle. We went ahead and built a matching bench to go along with it.
The table completely changed the dynamic of how they utilize their kitchen table with their kids and guests.
There is a 3D Sketchup model available under the Free Design Files tab.
