Construction details can be seen in this thread:
I simply hand sanded the base to ease over all the sharp corners with some 220 sandpaper. That was followed by 4 wipe on coats of Waterlox and finally a coat of beeswax/mineral oil rubbed out with 0000 steel wool for a very nice finish. The top was an off cut of butcher block that I had already finished, I just sealed the cut ends with the Waterlox. The top is attached to the base with figure 8 fasteners.
My wife pointed out the kids will probably cram things into the cracks but I'm ok with that. It is a game table afterall.
Thanks for looking,
Paul
