Feast your eyes on this bad boy! This is a small farmhouse bench that will leave a big impression.This was built to match the elegant oak farmhouse table so it’s sporting a solid oak top and turned wood legs by Osborne Wood. This farmhouse bench is great for smaller spaces with ample seating for 2 adults or 3 small children. Plus these farmhouse bench plans are so easy anyone can do it. This one can be built using these plans for about $50. Remember, this is OAK … not the cheap stuff.

Finishing
After filling the screw holes on the sides and sanding everything we stained the top and the base with Early American wood stain from Rustoleum. Then Jamie applied Vaseline to the areas we wanted to distress. We then followed that with Zinsser’s Stain Blocking Primer and flat white paint (not shown).
Rustoleum Early American Stain
Apply with foam brush
Let sit for a minute or so and wipe off
Apply Vaseline to areas that would naturally be distressed
