Farmhouse table from recycled wood.

You are a rustic master. Another well done project.

I like the fact that you used recycled lumber for this table. How many coats of the BOL are you planning on putting on? Every year?

Great looking table, just fits right in.

Robert, I would guess it got 3 or 4 coats of BLO when I built it, and then a coat or two every 3 or 4 years.

Don,
I really like your style. I would imitate it if I could control my urge to rub, sand, and love on my projects until they are no longer rustic but polished.

It’s got that perfect rustic look.

thanks Jim.

Scott, I have a similar issue. My wife has the rustic taste. To be honest, I like it once its done and in place, but I have this internal need to prove I can make it shiny-er. I guess better is a relative term.

Beautiful table, I would love to have a table like that, so full of life.
What are those rings on the table?
Best of my thoughts,

Ahhh those are the wife’s other xmas presents. A family ring ( a birth stone for each family member) and a perl ring.
