Rustic Dining Table, Bench and Chairs

(from Lumberjocks.com)


This is my latest commission project. The client wanted me to recreate the table, bench and chairs from the last photo. I made some structural changes and refined the pieces a bit. I would like to reiterate that I HATE the distressed look. I think that it is too subjective. I prefer a finish that is concrete.Anyway, everything was built from pine and I used simple half laps and a few mortise and tenon joints to keep the project in budget. I used a biscuit joiner to help in gluing up the top. The stain is colonial maple by Varathane. The stained pieces were given 3 coats of Arm-R-Seal. The distressed look was achieved by painting everything white, and then rubbing a mixture of Minwax Dark Walnut and Minwax Classic Gray. I went back and very lightly applied some slightly watered down white paint as accents.The client was very happy. I was thrilled to get these pieces out of my garage!Thanks for looking!
