Farmhouse Dining TableGetting Started

Jeremy from @jericho_home and Stephen from @thewoodpastor stop by our shop and show us how to make this rustic farmhouse table!

LEARN HOW TO:
  • Use a jointer and planer to cut and level your cedar.
  • Glue up your boards, using wood glue and clamps also create Farmhouse legs using a miter saw.
  • Sanding the entire table, using both power tools and hand sanding tools.
  • Use an age accelerating finish to complete the farmhouse look!

Farmhouse Dining Table Step by step

  • STEP: 1

    You will need:
    5 – 1x8x10 Red Cedar Board
    16 – 2x6x8 Red Cedar Lumbar
    3 – 4x4x8 Red Cedar Timber

     

    Once you have all your lumber be sure to check the sight lines to see how straight your boards are. The more straight, the less planning and jointing.

  • STEP: 2

    Run your 1x8x10 Cedar boards through a jointer on all sides because you want these to be almost flat since you will line these up together to make your top and eventually plane them together.

    You will then run your pieces through a table saw to give you a true edge when you butt them up against each other.

    Based on what size planer you own, section out your top for sizes that will fit the machine.
