Solid Oak Dining Table with Bench

 

Similar to my previous farmhouse table build, my friend wanted a modern looking farmhouse table. This time, with a higher budget, I built the entire thing from solid oak and finished with Rubio Monocoat in Walnut, and again made a matching oak.

Although it was smaller in size, the final outcome of this beautiful table was a testament to how far my building skills have come. It was definitely the nicest table I have built so far and I’d love to make another!

Make sure you check out the video for all the build details and upgrades I made to this project based on the higher budget and more expensive materials.

Farmhouse Table with Matching Bench

 

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.
