From Attic To Awesome

This is the finished product of the previously posted piece of maple. It is 30” wide x70” long with a beautiful waterfall edge and custom design leg by the customer. It took months but thankfully my customer was very patient. Very happy to be finished and even more happy my customer is happy.

Excuse my garage. This thing is too heavy to move around just to stage. I found a 1954 Zenith console tv and immediately knew what I wanted to do. Unfortunately I soon realized that I could not repair the existing finish. This piece quickly turned into the project from hell. The years of paint and varnish had to be stripped, sanded, stained and refinished. Shelves, backing and lights were added. But I think it is the perfect bar cart.

My husband brought this home from a tear out. At first I thought it looked like way too much work. But it’s still 2020 so what else do I have to do. I love it. I am using it as my outside sink and potting bench. I painted it with house paint to keep it weather proof. New faucet and towel rack and it is perfect. I’m gonna keep this.

Had a piece of wood in my kitchen for months waiting to find the perfect legs. I think I nailed it. Did not see the tiger stripes in the wood till I put the polyurethane on it.
