The moment you’ve been waiting for….the finished table!  (click for larger view)

…and a closer look… You can see here the “worn” edges I created…  I think I did a pretty good job matching the top, trim & legs in color.  Not that it mattered to me all that much; it is just a back porch table…

Here’s a closer look at the finish on top which really is slightly darker than it appears here.  And for some reason the little nicks & dents don’t show in this shot either.  But they’re there….

Overall, I would say we’re both very happy with our homemade table and think it will serve us well for many years to come.  I’ve never made furniture before and I thought it was great fun!  Of course, Captain Hubby did the carpentry part and a fine job at that.  What a sweetie he is to help me with all my crazy ideas…

As you can see here, the chairs don’t exactly match ~ they’re just comfy back porch chairs…

And, of course, I had to take my wood burner and sign our masterpiece on the underside…

Now…what do I want to make next….?
