    That table is going to look great. Lots of character. What is the plan, for a table with wood like this, to keep it from being rough and splintery, but still keep the rustic look? Would sanding ruin that? Will the finish take care of it?

    Filling in the cracks. I’m using resign with food grade coloring. I made the mistake of using only the recommended amount of activator/hardener and 24 hours later it was still gooy, I went ahead and added 3x what it recommended and a couple hours later it was solid.

    Finished.

    Word of advice, don’t use resin to fill in the gaps, it’s been 4 days since I filled them in and they still release a very chemically smell.

    Pity about the smell, but it’ll probably dissipate over time. It’s a great looking table!

    Thank you. Yeah, I finished it just in time as a Valentine present for my wife. I’m very pleased with the outcome as is my son Justus 🙂

    I thought it would need more support than just the frame, but since it’s oak and 2″ x 3″ it firm and the legs don’t move even when slide the table by myself.

    Thanks all for the encouragement.

    Next up, finish the mesquite and oak crib for our baby who should be here in a couple of weeks.

    The table looks great! Just how did you flatten the boards without
    affecting the character of the boards?

    Thank you @handworkenthusiast I didn’t flatten the top, it has lots of waves and texture. I did do some light sanding just to remove the roughness and splinters. See the attached picture to see what I’m talking about.

    The project was pretty tough for that very reason, the boards where warped.

    That table is looking good, great job. I like to use recycle wood also when I can get it, makes IMO an interesting looking project.

    Nicely done! It looks like it’s emerging from the tiles- the coloring of the wood and texture are almost identical. And it looks like your boy’s enjoying it too!

    Fantastic! I’ve always liked that old wood mainly for the character it brings to a piece of furniture. Glad you kept it intact even tho it must have been a challenge to work.

    Yes, I see now, it’s not dead flat but its flat enough to be fit for purpose and sure came out nice.

    That is a really nice job, a one off table of character
