Trestle Table Done!

The table is finished! That didn't take nearly as long as the girls' bunk beds. It couldn't have. I don't have enough time left on this life to have taken that long. Jen seems happy with it, and I've heard several comments that were positive. I haven't head any offering me obscene amounts of money for me to make them one yet, though. Oh well, maybe once I make a boat the offers will come flooding in. We can only hope.
The table is southern yellow pine, made with only hand tools, finished with three different colors of milk paint, a milk paint sealer, and pure linseed oil. Like I said before, hand tools only, nothing with a plug touched this thing. Well, technically the lumberyard may have cut the wood using some powered equipment, but you can't hold that against me, can you?
Please forgive the crappy photos, I wasn't in the mood to play with lighting, or do much of anything for that matter. If you want to see what it really looks like, you'll just have to come over.

Table looks very nice. You did a great job. Mom liked it, too.
