Post: RE: The Legs were Always There
Thank you,     It's wiped-on Tru Oil.    I am hoping that the fir/spruce/pine top ages a bit darker soon.   The red oak sides are from my special stash which has pleased me often :)

Ha ha!    Not a lot done there; I found a picture and it was 8-sided rather than 6-sided.   But it was fun.
