Take a look before the finish makes it ugly. I think if it was mine I would try some orange shellac only.

Hi Bobby,

Some things look good naked, your table is one of them.

All the best

Hate to show my ignorance Bobby but what wood would that be? I'm the worlds' worst when it comes to determine woods. When I store a piece of wood I have to write its name on the end.
Really a smart looking table!

Lynn that is southern yellow pine, made for a new country cabin up in the hills on the river for a large local family, I am sure it will be well used, they knew what they wanted from the first. The legs were glued up 2"x6", cut to 4" square and turned, top was ripped 4-1/2" pieces from 2"x material, glued up in large sections, planed to 1-1/4" and glued up to 36" x 84".

Looks great Bobby! I think that Pine Furniture is way underated. Simple, yet attractive and functional. Country Style Furniture is beautiful to look at, very pleasing to my eye, anyway. I really like the "heft" the legs add to the table. Sure is a nice piece of work............GREAT JOB! :D

Very nice, Bobby! Yeah, I don't know why some folks really dislike Pine. I framed out and trimmed several of our basement windows with it and it looks really nice. Love the grain AND the legs on your table! I'm sure the new owners will thoroughly enjoy it! :cool:

Very nice Bobby. But then I never had any doubts. Isn't it amazing how a bull nose or a simple round over makes end grain look good?

I agree with the shellac.

That's a beauty, Bobby. Another finish that I think would look slick on it is a waterborne poly. Keeps that 'nudie' look. ;)

Nice Bobby...real nice.

We have friends that live on one of the older farms here. They have pine floors that have no less than 18 inch wide boards. Everytime I go over I drool all over em...

I'm with you, Dave...we finish the interiors on log homes around here. The overwhelming wood of choice? SYP. All we use inside is 2-3 coats of Sherwin's Wood Classics WB poly. Great stuff--thick, but it flows, levels, and dries nicely. Works great with an airless sprayer.

Nice work... It was great to see all the previous postings and now the final table. I would like to see the orange shellac finish as well. Oh well... whatever the customer wants is OK with me.

Great looking table Bobby. For someone retired, you sure turn out a lot of nice looking projects.
