recycled bed to bench recycled bed to bench No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

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.

Nice Save and beautiful work! I share Alistar’s thoughts on paint and Walnut: why, why, why…!
