It was time to knuckle down and get some furniture finished.
I had successfully stained and finished a dining table that we had for months, and the only reason it got finished was because we used it for our party, and there wasn’t any point of carrying back into the garage to be used as another work bench.

Larry has been preparing for his annual yard sale. From the depths of his basement he brought up boxes of crap to lay out on an assortment of tables that have probably come from the same place.
