That was agood idea, and how lucky that it already matched your decor.

Ah yes, a pew for the shoes. Nice save!

All those shoes kicked off and left…. If I was your neighbor, I’d be wondering where you were burying the bodies. ;-)

green shoes ? >grin<

everyone has to have at least one pair of green shoes, don’t they??
(they match my Lumberjocks shirt REALLY nicely!!!)
(oh, and they belong to my daughter, as do most of those shoes parked there.. and she’s not buried in the backyard)

Ms Debbie
I don,t know where you find the time to whip up all these projects so quickly?

-- John in Cranbrook http://www.extremebirdhouse.com ....http://community.webshots.com/user/cranbrook2

well, it was the long weekend.. so that helped :)
and since I’m not a perfectionist nor a skilled woodworker, I can get away with being quick rather than good lol

and it’s just a guess but I would think that putting 3 boards together takes a lot less time than building an extreme birdhouse!!! :)

As many butts as that old pew wore out on Sunday morning, it deserves to go to work every day and make and honest living. You play a good game, Debbie dear.

lol thanks Thos.
When we were cutting it I thought “hmm I wonder how many confessed sins are being let loose into our shop??!!!” :)

Very nicely done Deb. Don’t you just love stuff with a history.

Colour? Centre? What, are you Canadian or something?...lol I love your bench! And, I pretty much like every Canadian I’ve met. Did I say I love old church benches?

-- Steffen

Yes, Bob.. I think think it is the history/story that makes something special. That’s why I love the blogs, here, so much,... they tell me the history “right from the beginning”.

Steffen, you bring colour to the centre of my cheeks. I would be honoured to have you as a neighbour – any day :)

(Canadians love U)

Nice use of the wood, Debbie.

thanks Tom.
I showed my aunt last week at our bonfire breakfast and she looked at me with a look that said, “we took that bench apart and gave you the wood to make things and you just put it back into a bench!!”

Very receptive of your Aunt. And what did you reply?

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

I just smiled and said that we simply couldn’t cut it up.
