And here it is with a second coat applied at 9:30 this morning. When you start with half-rotten wood, you can't expect too much from your paint job. I think sanding and filling in with putty would've made it look better, but it was destined for the trash heap so I don't feel too bad.
And this is a link to the original picture from a February post when I had just started refinishing it.

Now if I could just get the boys to show interest in creating artsy spray-painted things on it....

Lookin' good! What if the boys put their hands in paint (like craft paint) and then make handprints on the table? Or...they could dip their fingerprints in paint & put on the table & draw little "stick figures" out of the prints?
I began refinishing an old table, let's say, about 15 years ago. It got so tedious that I put it in the shed and haven't seen if since. Great job for getting yours done in only 4 months. I wish I worked so diligently.
Oh Sewista, you must've been trying to do a good job! I figured I couldn't hurt this table more than it already was. Plus most of the paint was already flaked off when I started.
