| My attempt to turn something (nearly) rotten into something cool ... finished ! |

I found two pieces of wood and decided to make something out of them. They were nearly rotten, I let them dry for a few days and then cleaned them up with steel wool and sanded them down a bit. After that, I stained them. The difference before/after is just amazing. This is what the bottom of one piece looked like pre-stain : This is the top of the same piece stained : Finally, this is a part of the second piece which I will put into the top of the first piece. The left side is stained, the right is not. I will have to drill a hole into the top of the first piece and glue the second piece into it. But first, the last coat of stain will take 48 hours to dry. So hopefully on Sunday I will be able to present you something really cool (at least IMHO :D). Stay tuned ! |

Got me curious, looking forward to Sunday! |

Since I hate waiting and generally am very impatient, I checked on the last coat of stain. Lo and behold, it was dry ! So I took a spade bit, drilled a hole into the 'floor board' and wrestled the top piece of wood into it. It fit so good that I didn't need to glue it. This is the result : |

Even more pics. I really like how this turned out. Not too shabby for some pieces of wood that I found rotting in the woods :) |
