Black Gum Tree Farm Table

By Dean Ross, Shop Manager at Unlimited Furniture Co. in Temple, TX.

Winning Category

This farm table had a one of a kind top made from the Black Gum tree.  To save the beautiful look of the unique grain pattern we used General Finishes Pre Stain Natural. The base of the table, bench, and the chair frames were primed and then painted with General Finishes Persian Blue milk paint. Once the base and chairs were painted we did a medium rub to give a light distressed look. The table base, bench, and the chair frames were then coated with General Finishes Van Dyke Brown glaze.

Reclaimed Lumber Farm Table

By Dean Ross, Shop Manager at Unlimited Furniture Co. in Temple, TX.

Winning Category

This 36x72 Farm Table features a reclaimed lumber table top. The lumber was brought out of a historical building in Georgetown, TX built in 1855 originally used as the local horse and buggy barn. The table top features random length, rough longleaf pine boards that are 1 1/2 inches thick. The top was stained with General Finish's Gel Antique Walnut. We applied a slip coat of General Finish's High Performance Gloss top coat before using General Finish's Winter White Glaze to bring out the rough character in the wood.
