We used this table for our main dining table for many years until it got to be to small as the kids came along. Then it was a computer desk for awhile. The last few years it's been in the basement. It was terribly scratched, with one very deep, long gouge from someone dragging the computer across it, I think.
I already started sanding it before I remembered to take pictures, but these show some of the damage.
Pine is forgiving however, and most of that gouge sanded right out. I primed this with a tinted primer, then later wished I hadn't because it shows if I tried to sand the edges. So I'm leaving it unsanded, with a poly finish on it.
I would love to put a scripture verse or prayer around the border of the table. But alas, I have no cricut and I don't have time to stencil or stamp. If I do come up with something before it goes to college, I'll post later.
I've joined these link parties. Check them out!

Oooh I like the idea of a stencil or stamp on the side - that would be so very, very awesome for this table.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have a cricut?? I do, what do you need?
ReplyDeleteHi Deb~~the table turned out beautiful!!! A verse on the edge would be a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteLots of work...but I'm sure a labor of love.
