I too, get tired of the same following trends and quite frankly don't get it.

Looking at the shelf, it looks like it's supposed to be quarter sawn oak, which was/is a more expensive cut of wood. Maybe putting a faux quarter sawn oak veneer was a less expensive method of production for a furniture company...but looked like the real thing??? <br />The top is really pretty now that you've sanded and finished it. Love the dark stained look. Nice job and cutting off the legs was brilliant.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819457826608198258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86840151648374849.post-57862939227011651152012-02-08T09:09:16.757-08:002012-02-08T09:09:16.757-08:00What a beautiful job!

It looks very nice as an end table in your living room. I have a similar table only square, that I'm refinishing (very slowly). I sanded it off last fall to get the stain and grime smooth and I plan to paint it white and use it as a bedside table. I just need some motivation. Have a great day!
