an issue (do not seem to be an issue). Our temperature swings are fairly gradual through the seasons and our average humidity is typically below 50 with inside humidity typically in the low 30’s. C) The wood we have used on all of the tables so far has been
recycled and plenty dry so I don’t believe that it is going to move?? We generally acclimate the wood in my shop for a few months and I track the humidity in the shop so I know that it is really stable.

how to build them. I guess time will tell. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

will flip it over and go to work finishing the top. Here are the highlights to hopefully answer most questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">* This stuff is not cheap but it is easy to apply and the end finish is tuff. They actually recommend that it can be used for tables. First 2 or 3 coats are a bit
spooky because the look is not what a guy wants. After that each coat makes the wood “pop” even more. We do multiple on the bottoms to makes sure that the end result is what we are after. The center board on this one will not be as rough or dark on the
top. I think we have ended up at 6 coats on the previous 3 tables to get the best look.
