Reclaimed Fence Board Farm Table

I figured since this week was all about my talented neighbor and the pieces he has created or helped me with for Lucketts, I’d add one more to the list!  (If you missed the others, you can check out the emerald dresser with overlays here, and all the cutout shapes here).  Travis created an amazing table from reclaimed old fence boards, planing together the top, so it’s nice and level and smooth, not quite as rough as a planked table, but with a similar rustic look.  He created the base himself, designing legs that are slightly tapered but also have a routed detail.  He brought it over this weekend for me to finish- here it is in the raw….

I feel like farm tables with white or black bases are relatively common (I actually am bringing another farm table with a white base!), and I wanted this table to really stand out to the Lucketts crows.  I decided to paint the base in General Finishes Patina Green, a fabulous bright teal.  One coat went on beautifully and was all it needed.

Once the paint was dry, I distressed it, and then went over it with Briwax Golden Oak to give it a more aged look.

For the top, I also used Briwax Golden Oak.  I wanted a finish that would really let those rustic planed fence pieces shine, but also darken it just a bit.  I think it was the perfect choice, but I will let you decide!

Hopefully this gorgeous table will find its home this weekend!

    Oh this color is “da bomb”! Is this that GF milk paint in a can??? I’ve wanted to try the Lamp Black and for sure I’m getting this shade!
    BTW, saw your post on AT and read thru the comments. Some of those wood purists MCM fanatics kill me! They posted one of my re-dos last month and luckily no one wanted to hang me for painting the piece. But on all the mid century re-dos, I read the comments and there are always the arrogant know-it-alls that point out you have some rare collectable! They did the same thing to another girl that had a knock-off Broyhill piece. (it wasn’t even close to a Brasilia). Same thing they did on your post claiming you had a HW. Same people also want to make painting dressers a felony! lol. Just because something is old doesn’t make it a valuable, priceless heirloom. Geez. OK, I feel better now that I vented to you!

    I honestly didn’t see potential in the “before,” but now I’m so in love with the table. I love the vibrant legs – they are so gorgeous and so beautifully finished.

    Incredibly pretty color, Cassie! (And how exactly does one go about getting a neighbor with such mad carpentry skills?)
