Beautiful work. Can you describe your process for staining and varnishing? That's what I have left and need some advice.

I sanded everything smooth and wiped it clean.  I then applied a few coats of danish oil and then finished it with 2-3 coats of spar varnish.

That is very nice.  And I agree with everybody else...that shelf is a very good addition.  Well thought out.

One of the best I've seen - but the bottle opener is where?

Bravo! Quite the high end table you have yourself there. What are you going to do for covering that bad boy up to protect it from the elements?

my sister made me a nice canvas cover but the cover came after the table spent a year in the elements.  If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't use red oak as its not the best choice to be in the elements 24/7.
