Rustic Dining Table & Bench
Reclaimed lumber and timber-frame design elements give this table and matching bench loads of farmhouse charm. It’s sure to be a hit in any home.
When you look at this dining table, you can see that it has many details that take inspiration from traditional timber framing. The prominent ones are the knee braces and pegged joints. They add a sense of stability and permanence to the project. Something that will stand the test of time. One of the things you’re sure to pick up on right away is that this table is built using reclaimed lumber. This reclaimed stock is beautiful, old growth Douglas fir. Not only does the stock choice match the design well, but the timber is already rich with character — before you start adding your own during your family dinners.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.


Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
