I made this table approximately three years ago. The table is made of particularly nice grained ash wood. the legs were made from 6/4 lumber. The table top and apron out of 3/4 lumber. I believe the stain I used was minwax provincial and it was varnished (applied with hands) with a paint thinner, boiled linseed oil and polyurethane blend. It took a long time to dry but the finish was flawless I decided to sell it this year and it sold in one week after putting it on Craigslist this past March. I hated to see it go but I believe it went to a person who appreciates furniture, and that was gratifying.
