Farm House Kitchen Table

This is the old floor in the horse trailer.

 

This is those same boards, removed and cut up.

 

These same boards are going to be my new Farm House Kitchen table.

 

This is the top, It will measure approximately 4' X 8' when finished.

 

The top will be separate from the bottom, which will be a frame to hold the legs together

and the top just sitting on top.

 

We used the trailer wood and some real 2x4s for the top. The legs were new wood and the leg frame will use new wood also.

 

We added bread boards to the ends of the top boards to give it a move finished look.

 

There is a frame in a frame, so the top will sit on the other frame and have a couple smaller boards to keep it straight and even.

 

Its mostly complete here but just sitting there, its not screwed/bolted together yet.

 

This is what it looks like right now. I will clean the boards really well tomorrow since they still have dirt and spider webs on them from the barn. Then they will come inside to dry for a while, then I'll start sanding them.

 

This is what the frame will look like when its finished except I'm hoping to find another old 2x4 to use for the leg braces and cross piece.
