DA ROCKPILE WOLFPACk

Driving around town on a sunday afternoon i came across this futon frame which was tossed out on the sidewalk by home owner. The legs were wobbly and some of the wood pieces needed to be replaced. Hardware were stripped too so they needed to be changed also. After so many hours of repairing it, sanding it. This is how it looks now.

The only thing left is to finish the wood with some wood stain…any suggestions?

Had me going there I thought the railing was part of the Futon.

Looking great. Nice to be able to make use of salvage.

Looks like a great find. I am sure it will look great after you finish cleaning it up. Do you have a mattress, or are you going to have to work on your sewing skills?

With a name like HIsurferMoe it seems you’re involved with more than one kind of “sand”....Welcome to Lumberjocks.
