Those are really handy. I made a couple of them a while back and we use them all the time. I think there is a picture in my Project gallery.

Naturally, Steve, my work cannot hold a candle to yours, but, yes, if you would not mind sending my your plan, I'd like to have it in my file.

Anyway, that is a really nice table.

Nice job Steve. Wow that alder is beautiful stuff. That is its natural color? Or, was the Danish oil one of the pigmented types?

Thanks guys for the nice comments. The Danish oil I used was a natural finish but with it and the clear shellac and poly, It really brought out the grain.
I sanded with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper between coats and the last one rubbed it out with a brown paper bag.

Hi, Very nice job. This is the first time I've seen something like this, very practical. You can even inlay some cork to create a coaster or add a cutout to fit a bowl for peanuts or other snacks while watching a game. I'LL definitely try to make some of these, thanks for sharing this idea and planting a seed in my mind.

Is shallac and poly supposed to be used over Danish oil? I was always told, you don't use anything before or after Danish oil?

Anyways great job I really like it.

Danish oil is Made from a blend of penetrating oil and varnish. It is sometimes colored with a stain to produce a desired result. You should wait about 72 hours if you want to put a finished shellac or poly on top of it.

Interesting; if you did a solid top on the other side you could use it as you do, and then you could turn over so that it could be used as a conventional table that sits in front of the couch to have dinner or lunch on. (if the bottom and top are the same length). Anyways, very fun project.
