Almost Completed Table!!

After many weeks of work the table is almost complete. We have stained it with Minwax Fruitwood oil-based stain, 2 coats. Then we waxed it with Briwax in light brown. I will probably spend more time buffing and then may add a second coat of wax to the table and bench tops. Comment people!! I am so excited to finally have it done. We still have to finish the extensions. You can see them in the background leaning up against the back wall. They needed a bit of wood fill in a couple of the deep knot holes. Next up is the wall of cabinets, cubbies, and workstations for the kids. I should put up a before pic next to this one so you can see the difference...maybe after we get a new basement door and put the trim back up.
