A New Table

I have been wanting a larger dining table especially since we invite people over to eat so often. Earlier this year Jesse's co-worked asked if anyone wanted this table she was getting rid of. She had planned to refinish it but just didn't have the time. Jesse told her we would take it. She and her husband delivered it to us, and it has been my project. I had to sand down the entire thing.

I really liked the natural color of the wood, so I decided just to coat it with polyurethane. I first tried oil-based since it is more durable, but I didn't like the amber color that came with it. Instead of just coating one small area, I did the whole bottom which I then had to sand down again.

I finally finished with the water-based polyurethane, and I absolutely love it! I turned out so beautifully.
