Tips:

• For a more rustic look, choose wood boards with natural imperfections, such as knots and cracks.
• You can also distress the wood by sanding it with a coarse grit sandpaper or by using a hammer and chisel to create dents and gouges.
• If you are staining the table, be sure to test the stain on a scrap piece of wood first to make sure you are happy with the color.
• Apply two coats of stain for a richer color.
• To protect the table from wear and tear, apply a coat of polyurethane finish.
