I wish I could do that. I can't drive a nail in a board. Did you buy the table top or make it?

Hi Andy and Julie,
Your table looks great. Can you tell me what you did to make it look so good? If you already put it in a thread somewhere on here, just point me in the right direction as I'm pretty new to this forum. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. I used a piece of 3/16 ash ply (you can use whatever you want) in place of the glass. Most specialty wood places can cut it for you to the dimensions you specify. Ash is a fairly light colored and hard wood. You can stain it to your color preference then use a good quality varnish of your choice. Make sure to have it cut SLIGHTY larger than you need so it can be sanded to fit tight. I sized it first then stained it. I glued it down using construction adhesive (rough sanded the attach area on the table first), applied 5 coats of varnish using painters masking tape to protect the rest of the table from spillover and eureka! A new table top. The key to a good finish is to sand with fine sandpaper before staining and between each coat of varnish (always make sure the surface is really dust free before applying varnish) to achieve a smooth surface.
