More Picture Of What Color To Stain My Farmhouse Table HD Image Size. Standard Style Farmhouse table stained in Minwax Jacobean with Heirloom White on the base. I am learning to work with wood and my first project is making my own farmhouse dining table.
For the planked farmhouse tabletop you will begin by staining with 1 coat of red chestnut let sit about 5-10 minutes before wiping excess stain off. I have used stain only to get similar affect on kitchen table where wear is big factor. The gel white is the key.
