Finish Used
I used MinWax stain in Dark Walnut and three coats of MinWax Fast-Drying Polyurethane in Satin finish to seal the stain. For the paint, I just used some white, satin Olympic no VOC paint right off the shelves at Lowe's. It was left over from painting my house. To date, I have not sealed the paint and I may not bother since it's holding up just fine. As far as my "technique" is concerned, I just followed Ana's tips about sanding between coats. I applied the stain and poly with a small white sponge roller. I used a paint brush for the legs since I feel like I get better results, even though it takes more time.

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to do with the table we just built. Would you be willing to share your finishing process here? Beautiful job.
