DIY Reclaimed Wood Dining Table. #DIYReclaimedWoodDiningTable #diyprojects #diyideas #diyinspiration #diycrafts #diytutorial I really dig the reclaimed wood table look. I browsed a bit at Crate & Barrel and Restoration Hardware, but couldn’t stomach the idea of dishing out upwards of $1,500 for a table. So Rich and I decided we would make our own this past weekend. With the right tools, this is easily a one day project. And for those of you that are drowning in long term home renovations, it’s a breath of fresh air to start and finish a project in one day. The best part? It cost under $60 to make. Materials: 3 pieces (cut in half) of 2x6x10ft Spruce-Pine-Fur Lumber = $19.89 1 piece (cut in three even pieces) 1x4x8ft Whitewood Super Strip = $1.99 Minwax Wood Finish Stain in Provincial 211= $7.97 2 IKEA Lerberg Trestle, gray legs = $20.00 Zinc Wood Screws 8 x 1 3/4 = $7.77 Tools: Saw (we used a handheld) DeWalt 5″ Variable Speed Orbital Sander 3″ Flat Utility brush for stain Old rags for wiping stain An oversimplified description of the process: We went to our local Home Depot and carefully evaluated the lumber beams. Once we decided on the 2x6x10 beams for the table (we wanted it to be 5 ft. long) we laid them out on the floor to make sure we picked the least warped pieces. Then we had Home Depot cut the beams in half, giving us 6 pieces of wood. We also had them cut the 1x4x8ft beam into three even pieces to use a support beams underneath. Once home, Rich and my dad measured, evened, and screwed the six 2x6ft pieces together, using the three 1×4 whitewood pieces as support beams. Then we sanded. And sanded some more. We used a 5 inch orbital sander with 80/150/220 grit attachments. After that, we wiped the dust off and brushed the stain on. The stain sat for 6 minutes. We wiped it off. The stained wood sat overnight and then we placed it on top of the IKEA legs. Once the stain really cures, we’ll fasten the legs onto the table with a bracket. We’re using white IKEA Adde chairs around the table. I really like the look of a white modern chair next to a reclaimed heavy-looking wood table. Maybe someday we’ll splurge on Herman Miller’s Eames chairs. The dining room is still a work in progress. Once we finish it up, I’ll post a before and after of the room.
