In reply to Colleen Pastoor. Hi, your table is beautiful and I think my husband and I could actually do this. I'm back to the epoxy. You just use enough to fill in gaps, knots or splits? Can you sand over the epoxy when it dries or will it scrape the epoxy? Thanks

Hi, Nope – she’s really happy with it, and it’s stable :)

I like your design on the legs. I was going to ask how rigid/sturdy they were – I suppose that support you added at the bottom helped? Does the table sway/rack at all if you were to lean against it on the long side?

Thanks!

In reply to Dani K. Hi Dani! It was a custom colour, the closest match we’ve found is called Dreaming in the Clouds by Para Paints

This room is absolutely beautiful! I realize I’m a tad late to the party, but I’m redoing my entire house (4 houses technically, the 1850 farmhouse has had 3 add-ons). I was wondering if you happen to remember the name of the paint color you used on the walls? Thank you!

Love this!!! Could you explain a bit more about how you attached the legs to the top? Thanks.

In reply to LG. That's what we did, yep! We only filled the holes but if you'd like it to be more dent resistant, you could do the whole thing :)

Hi! LOVE your table. We’re doing something similar and I hoped to confirm the order of your steps – is this correct?
1) sand table
2) fill holes/cracks with epoxy*
3) sand any epoxy that went past the holes
4) cover with satin varnish

*did you only fill the holes with the epoxy and clean it up by sanding it down after? Or cover the entire table?

Thank you in advance!!

In reply to Harper O’Neil. YES! Definitely stain before epoxy as the stain won't penetrate where epoxy touches :)
