This is my first DIY furniture build. Had some issues with the Poly, but it turned out better than I thought. I used a couple of Turnbuckles with black hammer spray paint instead of the back slant supports. Made some mistakes, but learned a lot. Thanks Ana for the great site and all of the great posts.

Build question
Great build! How did you rough up or score the edge of the table top? Thanks.

Rough Edges
Actually it was a pristine pine project board that was very easily dented and marked. If you notice the corner, that's from shortening it and roughly cutting with a circular saw. The end of the cut chipped the corner off and I just sanded it down with a rotary sander. Same sander for the edges gave me the tree ring look. I also went with cheaper 2x4 that had some blemishes and then sanded them down to give it a more lived in look for the side legs.
