Time to refocus!


I have been busy lately (which is a good thing) but...I feel the need to refocus. So I'm starting a new project. I don't want it to be a long drawn out project, just something relatively quick that I can zoom in on. Design, build, finish, and be done. So here is my plan....I came across some old barnwood recently which I intended to use here at the house for some wainscoting. Well scratch that Idea. While sorting through the 23 boards a few of them "spoke" to me. Since I am not one to ignore talking wood. I selected one board about 3/4" thick, 11 1/2" wide by 8' long. As soon as I saw it I had the end product visualized in my head. So here it is. A single piece of barnwood, once standing un-noticed in a crowd of hundreds. Slowly aging, turning gray, as the years passed it by. Well no more, it's time to shine! Follow along as I turn this 100 yr old "barn-siding" into a one of a kind piece of furniture.
