A LITTLE BEAUTY!
Bob came home recently from an auction with this little school desk.
 |
| BEFORE |
Some may think its chippy goodness is perfect, but that's rarely an option with Bob. The fun for him is disassembling an item; and restoring everything back to working condition and restoring the wood back to an original finish.
The desk portion tilts and can be adjusted up and down.

| AFTER |
The drawer has a pencil tray, and the drawer pull has a patent date of March 25, 1910 on it.
Sometimes, I have a hard time giving up things that Bob restores. This is one of them, but it is off to the consignment store -- hopefully, someone will buy it that loves it as much as I do!
AND THE BEAST!
Bob found this in a barn cheap. It was full of hay and mouse droppings. After a thorough scrubbing and disassembling, he stripped the wood.

| BEFORE |
This thing is huge and heavy -- much bigger than the average cedar chest. The top hinges for lots of storage and would be perfect in a mudroom. After Bob finished doing his thing, it turned out pretty neat.

You never know if something like this will sell -- it takes just the right person with the right space. It sold within two days!
