school me: making my own coffee table
it's the resident reno noob again...
so i'm wanting to build my own coffee table!
i have found the wood i'm going to use - it's untreated
questions:
1- how do i "treat" it so it wont "rot"?
2- how do i get to that store like smooth shine? I know i have to sand it and stain it using 400-500grit sand paper. Is there anything more to it than that?
3- where can one find narrow wooden legs? I found the hair pin style locally but nothing came up for "narrow round wooden legs".
the legs will be something like but narrower and round: http://ab.weimgs.com/weimgs/ab/image...ee-table-o.jpg
