Made this small trestle table for the wife. She likes defects in the wood, so it makes my life easy. I tried to center most of the bad spots, when I could. All soft maple, as she said just use what I had. It is for her craft area in the basement, guessing it will be covered in paint and scuffs soon. Finished it with Minwax wipe on that I mixed up. Added Naphtha for a faster drying time.

4'-8" x 2'-6" 3/4" thick, I only had 4/4 material and very little 8/4 for feet and legs. I am worrying about top flexing or bouncing, but all she is supposed to put on it is a Circuit craft machine. Time will tell.
