Rustic Kitchen Table

In my tree dollhouse project, I used the tutorial for this rustic workbench to make a variation - a rustic dining table. 

  1. Use the similar dimensions but reduce the height by a third.
  2. Add a slightly larger tabletop so it overhangs the frame.
  3. Increase the height of the side panel/frame.
  4. Glue/attach three drawers and use seed beads as the ‘handles’.
