My last thrifting trip I only found 1 item, this drop leaf table.
Both sides open to make an oval table.
I believe it is walnut. There is some beautiful grain patterns.
Dovetail joinery. Nice.
The finish needed work so I sanded it all over.
It was also a bit too tall, so I shortened the legs.
You can see here that a rotary sander was used and left swirl marks.
After sanding, I used a wood oil.
Lemon oil is on the left. Right side is natural.
Here is our current kitchen table.
It always has a table cloth because I made it and it was pretty rough!
Here is the new table!
I like it!
All ready for some tea.
Awesome find!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. Makes me want to paint it. :~) (I love to paint furniture.)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great find!!!!! I love it! Do you mind letting us know the price so we will know a good deal if we find one?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like it a lot. I think I paid $4 for it at Salvation Army.
ReplyDelete@Jan - HA! I think I will not paint it. My husband, the woodworker, loves wood grain I think he has infected me. :)
