Okay, so I finished my little wood working project with a few days of setbacks due to the fact I got the flu. But that has now passed.
This is the large coffee table mock-up(With random boards on top was in a hurry preparing for a new years eve party)
Color choices picked out with the help of my lovely girlfriend
(who also learned how to stain)
Finished Coffee Table
Finished Coffee Table and one end table/mini coffee table
So I have one remaining to finish probably get that done sometime today. I have to wait a little bit to make sure the treated lumber that I had to use for the legs doesn't bleed through or otherwise effect the stain adversely then seal it with 2-3 coats of polyurethane.
Total Project cost was around $175 (had to pickup some corner brackets to help stabilize the section of free span where I had to notch for the legs as I assume people will be resting their legs on this lip.)
