Hey.
Remember when I used to post? Those were good times, weren't they?
Well, I am still in the midst of my travels. I'm cooking up some stories to share, complete with pictures.
For now, though, I have a table to share with you. For the life of me I can't find a before shot, so picture a table with this color wood:
Ooh, I just got the shivers. That's some ugly lighting. The table looked the exact same, wood-wise. Jeremiah bought it from the neighbor's yard sale for a couple bucks. I was so excited that I clapped. I clapped. I clap a lot. Because I knew that the table would start to look like this when I stained it:
That's after several coats. It started out looking really red and I was a
bit nervous, but all is well.
Here's the finished product:
Not too shabby for a couple bucks and some Minwax. The dish was a buck from Salvation Army, and I love it.
What do you think? Anyone else traveling? Woodworking?

Your coffee table turned out awesome! Did you end up painting it dark brown or were you able to get it that dark with stain?
Thanks, Lacie! It was many, many coats of the Minwax Poly/Stain in Bombay Mahogany. Totally worth it, though, because I love seeing the wood grain.
