In order to attach the legs I clamped on a square to make sure everything was lined up before I drilled the holes.  I had originally planned to bolt the legs on and then changed my mind once I realized that the legs were not supported enough.

I mounted the legs with dowels and added a table length brace, but it did not provide enough lateral support, so the table still moved side to side.

I decided I would need to add more lateral bracing between the legs and that did the trick.  Here you can see that I've got the table right side up.  I began working on sanding all the surfaces in preparation for staining.

I'll be using two coats of water based dye stain in an amber color and then two coats of a dark gel stain.  The water based gel stain drys in about 2-4hrs and the gell stain requires a full 24hrs between coats.  Once those layers are done then I'll finish with around 4-6 coats of urethane to finish things off.
