Attached are some pics of cherry dining table, one for my daughter and one for my son. With help from some gracious Knotheads I finally got the Waterlox finish to work. This is a table featured several years ago in Fine woodworking by Mr. Krase. Its and simple design great for small dining rooms or people who only need seating for 6 once in a blue moon. It took longer to apply finish and shrink photos than to build tables. Thanks for the help in the finish.

Nice tables! When you said finally got the finish to work, what did you mean?
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
I must be the idiot RVH refers to as I followed the instructions on the can. Could not get that method to work!
I'm curious too. I've used Waterlox for years (it's essentially idiot proof).

Hey Brink. That looks great. That Waterlox can't be beat on a kitchen table. I built a 12 footer for my step daughter who has three young kids. Finish held up for about ten years, after which the edges needed some attention. I "washed it" with alcohol and naptha, slapped on a couple coats of Waterlox and it should be good to go for another 8-10 years. (Maybe even longer now that the kids don't want to build Lego cities on it.)
