Please don't laugh too much

I have picked up a piece of oak to use as legs for my coffee table and I am sure will all see the difference between the Cedar and the Oak.

This is what have done with the Ceder, made it a table. I am putting Superior Danish oil on it but could I also wax it?

You should have made a giant spoon.

3-4 coats of Danish oil should do it . You can wax over the top of Danish oil but the wax will mark more easily than the oil if you get water on the table. I am new to the Arb world but I have been a cabinet maker for over 20 years and I agree with the others it looks like oak but that's a good thing as you have made a table with it, oak is much tougher than cedar of Lebanon.

Oak all day long,,,,and I know,,that beetle is the bain of my life,,,,,

Honestly its Lebonese Ceder, the legs are oak and I got the oak from a tree that I cut down myself. I will put what I have left of the ceder on top of an oak log that I have.
