Thanks Tim.

Saw sharpening is one of the next skills on the list to acquire.  But
luckily the rip saw I used was sufficient.

The stain for the top is an Amish stain, which isn't commercially
available.  I then topped it with 3 coats of Arm r seal Oil based glossy
polyurethane.  I sanded with 220 between coats.  It almost came out like an
epoxy pour.  Was very happy with it and it should last a while.
