re: Stickley 713 Pedestal Table

BB1 - Thanks for the comment about the proportions. I did put a lot of effort into the base for that very reason. About your question(s). It is not a daily use table. It's main use is for holiday gatherings and occasional dinners parties. However, it's got some miles on it now and the finish seems to be holding up very well. I usually don't use polyurethane top coats, but I did on this project, and I'm kind of glad I did. Hope that helps...
