See woodworking doesn’t take a long time, does it. Great gift of Love and did you put flowers on it?

Great table, Debbie. You are right, though, it does need to be finished—especially if it is to be stored outdoors.

I just finished a maple-topped outdoor table for my wife. It will be stored outside in sun and rain (2 months of monsoon weather). I used 6 coats of spar varnish bought at my local big box hardware store. The can said to use 3 coats, but checking online finish comments let me know that the 6 coats I used willl work better. I used a good-quality brush and sanded between the coats with 220 grit and 600 grit between the last 2 coats.

You can stain it before the varnish, ut you may have to seal the stain with shellac. Check with others when you decide what stain you use. I think it makes a difference it is oil or water based. I am sure wil be able to find an expert here, one you decide on the finish.
Be Blessed!
You already blessed your mother!

thanks everyone :)

Karson, no flowers.

F.L. It took 1/2 day to make, leaving us the other half to get the pool ready for water. Boy was I tired last night!

Diane: Mom asked for a table last week. She hadn’t thought of it as a Mother’s Day present… we just made sure that it was done for this weekend—2 birds/1 stone :)

David: Rick and I are an awesome team. We work together SO well I am always surprised :)

Os/Hawg: the pine isn’t sealed yet but it will be. Mom plans to put an oil cloth over it as well as the sealant. It has been recommended that I use a Water Sealer. Thanks for that help :)

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone and their Mothers!
