My friend commissioned me to build her a table after the styles Harp Design Co sells (you know, the woodworker guy from Fixer Upper?).  It was a big project and took 3 weeks – but totally worth it!

I’m going to break this build down into several posts:

– Gluing Up & Turning Table Legs –

– Attaching Hangers Bolts to Table Legs  –

– Making Table Aprons –

– Gluing Table Top Together with Dowels –

– Mixing and Applying Custom Wood Finish –

– Spraying  a Protective Finish –

– Final Assembly & Details –

Stay tuned for the upcoming posts over the next few weeks!

We took a few ideas and put them together, such as the inset apron (left picture) with the legs from their ‘Original Farmhouse Dining Table‘ (right) and I also made the legs removable.

This is the final result!  Love it!

How it all began:

I ordered a batch of raw oak from a local hardwood floor store and took my little buddy to pick it up.

For a 7-foot long table x 44″ wide I ordered 100 board feet of wood.  We ended up with about 20 board feet leftover that I bought back from her.

In the next post, see how the legs got glued up and turned into shape!
