LOL, how do you empty it?

I guess the first picture was waiting for the plumber to make some holes in the pretty Sapele.

Most luckily a no news for this forum members , but here it is
As everyone knows on the West Coast we tend to use ( or ar least used to ) lots a western
red cedar and redwood on a lot of applications
I’m not sure it will work on other wood species but someone came up with this
mix in order to turn western red cedar or redwood into a JETBLACK color
Get one gallon of Distilled white vinegar ( on a plastic container )
Drop 4/5 steel wool # 4 (000 ) into the plastic container with the vinegar
Let it in there for 3 to 5 days
Then get the lumber ready and use a sponge and apply a liberal amount of it on the wood pieces
let it soak for about 5 minutes and clean the excess with a clean white rug
Get the wood pieces staged on an are until it starts drying up , the moment the sun rays has a direct contact to the lumber , the magic will happen
Try it sometime even if just for fun
I built a kitchen table about 7-years ago out of hard maple and painted it as per my wife’s color requirements. It still looks great today and is plenty hard. Hard maple was super easy to work with as well.Looking for suggestions on what kind of wood to use for a table top. I recently moved to Thomasville NC and my shop isn't currently set up yet but have access to some of my tools (Miter Saw, Kreg Jig, sanders, etc) but not my larger ones yet. I'm hoping in the fall that I'll be able to update the electric, insulation, lighting, etc.
I purchased a cast iron tank base from a member here and want to make it into a kitchen table with benches around 3 sides. I was hoping to be able to buy some dimensional lumber but not necessarily white pine from the big box store. I'd like something a little harder, that won't dent as easily as white pine. I'd also like something that I could stain in a walnut color stain.
Hoping for something that won't break the bank as I'd like to use the same wood to build the bench tops too.
I appreciate any suggestions that you might have.
Jim
