Farmhouse table
« on: November 26, 2013, 08:18:56 am »
Last week my nephew asked me to build him a rustic looking table that would resemble barn wood. his girlfriend saw one in a store half this size for over $500.00. I built this one for less than $170.00 total. Here it is in their kitchen.

Awesome! That is one sturdy table. If I give you $170 will you build me one?  ;D ;D

Very nicely done.  Almost always you can make it cheaper than you can buy it :) And it is a whole lot more satisfying to do too.  Thanks for sharing this with us.
