We recently acquired a gorgeous solid pine harvest table which was a freebe from a family friend. Since we agreed to give up our old dining table (a Duncan-Fife in poor condition!) in order to bring in the new table, we originally thought to sell it rather than refinish to sell it as time was of the essence. But something about the Duncan-Fife base left me thinking that we could do away with the badly damaged top, and repurpose the base instead. After sitting on that idea for awhile, I came across some beautiful old boards which are loaded with character, and considered incorporating them into a new table. Then I remembered my old Duncan-Fife base and the idea hatched into this table below! It's a bit of a wild one: very rustic and unique on top, and very formal and prim on the bottom. I love a good piece that tells a story, so I think that's why I was so intrigued by the thought of blending these two seemingly opposing worlds together for something new! I hope you enjoy it!

Unfortunately, while I thought I had taken a before photo of my Duncan-Fife table, I had not :( It was dark brown and in rough condition on top.
After - a different version of the standard harvest table!
