I followed Chris schwarzs’ plans for the trestle design except I lowered the stretcher. My mom picked out the eastern red cedar boards 6-7 months ago and I finally finished it. The base is southern yellow pine. Primed and painted with sherwin Williams shade grown green. I made a little lazy Susan with some of the cutoffs. | |||||||

Looks great! What finish did you use on the top? Did you have any issues with splits around knots?

blasley – I used a 50/50 mineral spirits/poly. The cedar soaks it up. It took about 10 coats. No issues with splits.
