table top (new pics)

Made from scrap pine and gently distressed to my liking. I love the way the scratches turned out. Its not finished yet. Trying to decide between parkers super glaze and the rockhard stuff that people talk about.

Nice.
Not my style, but it looks ""Sweet!"

On finished, I use a 2 part epoxy and sand it to a finished sheen that I like. It's rock hard and repairable with sandpaper and steel wool.
I doubt you want to go that route though.

Nice looking top. It has visual appeal. You may have a problem with wood movement issues...trapping cross grain movement...hopefully not.

Thanks. I am prepared for issues if they happen I am just hoping for the best. Its for a friend that don't have much money and asked if I could build her a table cheap. If it messes up due to warping or cracking ill build her another. It didnt cost me anything but some glue and some screws for the apron. I didnt glue it to the apron hoping that would allow enough movement to stop any issues.
