Well I did the test fit for the whole table minus the well tray. To my surprise, it all went together. Somehow I did manage to miss-calculate the width. I had planned on a 6 inch well tray, and somehow came up very short. I allowed for the housing dado and everything, but really goofed by almost 3 inches. I guess I could recut new rails, if I had the wood, but no. Tomorrow I’ll finish the well board, the apron board and table are already cut to receive it.
As is, I’m very happy with it, flaws and all. Weighs in at 200 lbs for a 4 foot table.
I am open to suggestions on what to finish it with. I haven’t found Lensed Oil here yet. Probably here, just haven’t found it. I have some Teak oil, Lacquer and Varnish. I also haven’t found shellac yet either.
??Just wax it as is??
