December 2, 201114 yr  A simple table, just TOO simple.  It needs something else, just not sure what.Too plain jane right now..That side apron is a bit fancy, but still just a straight board.  Top is a single piece of Oak, flat sawn at that. Just needs something to set it off.   'and may the road raise up to meet ye'
December 2, 201114 yr It just needs a finish on it. Â I love the simple, uncluttered design! Â It's beautiful!SQIt it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing.
December 2, 201114 yr Dittos, finish it Steve. And if you'd like, paint a 1" black border around the top, but about a half inch from the edge. Let dry and then finish. But it looks pretty dang good as is partner!John MorrisThe Patriot Woodworker
December 2, 201114 yr Author         I have some thin strips of wood, maybe add that along the bottom of the aprons?  Might use a bread board edge as well?  A light stain ( Ipswich Pine) with a few coats of semi-gloss.   Top still needs a good sanding, and then a nice piece of glass to scrape it smooth.  This is my "working weekend", so maybe next week...'and may the road raise up to meet ye'
