re: End Table

thank you barb. the wood combo was just what i thought at the time worked ! the finish i used then was maloofs blend of 1/3 tung oil, 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 semi gloss poly. i still use his blend to this day. if it was good enough for the most revered woodworker in the world it's good enough for me ! but now i do use a lot of general finishes stuff which i regard as top notch. im all for oil finishes !
