    Trestle coffee table

    I made my wife a coffee table. Bubinga and curly maple.

    Really nice! What finish did you use?
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    Wiped it down with boiled linseed oil then sprayed it a few times with sealcoat shellac. Wanted it to be easily repairable as my family has a habit of destroying coffee table finishes.

    That table is very attractive. A real conversation- and center-piece.

    At the expense of repeating what has been said already, I think your table is beautiful. I like the design and the craftsmanship looks great too from what I see in the pictures.
