recycled bed to bench

Project by Magician posted 463 days ago 395 views 0 times favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This old rounded foot board bed I found was covered with about 7 coats of paint. After cleaning it up and refinishing it looked like a nice walnut bed. After ssetting around for well over a year I decided maybe there would be some call for a walnut bench. This is the result.
