I've been considering building a trestle dining table for a while now. I really wanted a rustic style table to suit our 200 year old home. I finally found some time to start it but unfortunately I only had a 4 days to build if I wanted it completed for thanksgiving. I found some walnut 5/4 and 2" stock on craigslist for $3/board foot. nice stuff and fully dried which was a good deal. The build and finishing went well and it was ready for our turkey dinner. Fun project and was nice to break from building kitchens. try to ignor the filthy floors.. drywall patching mess.
Thanks for all the info on the finishing page here!
Mark.
