   Nice work Andy!

   Try a little paste wax on the runners for starters...

   Nice work. Details? Wood, finish, lessons learned?

   Post that over at FWW, another good place for tips.

   I thought you were a product of your parents. Now you're telling us you're a product of woodshop?

    

   Nice table, BTW. Next one, incorporate some turned legs in it <G>

   can't turn in freshman year. not shure about sophmore

   It is poplar painted with black matt finish to match the other furniture

   to make it easier to clean do you advise to put some matt poly on it?

   any clear finish will help keep it clean

   poly, or my current fave, shellac, will both work.

   Looks good Andy. Did you make it in a high school shop? If so, I'm glad to see there are still some around. Keep up the good work. You will have a whole house of furniture before you know it, all of higher quality than you can buy.
