Cathy Cottrell on Jan 05, 2014My vote is oak and NO hardware. Hardware would collect too much dust and be hard to get clean next to the wood. I would then finish with 4 or 5 coats of tongue oil with sanding with 000 steel wool between each coat. Great finish and easy to clean.Helpful Reply

Crafty2you on Jan 05, 2014Walnut stain, no hardware. The hardware takes the elegance away, and makes it look like barn furniture. Will be anxious to see what it looks like when finished.Helpful Reply

Kim Dagenais on Jan 05, 2014Personally I would save your hardware for another project, like a chest or coffee table. I prefer Dark Walnut, and would give it at least two coats. The wood grain will still show through. You could distress the table a bit here and there and use the Aged Oak for the distressed areas. Can't wait to see the finished product.Helpful Reply
