The First

Today being the first day of July should mark the first post of my first blog.

I've been refinishing a very old table for about a month now. I'm beginning to think that I should not be a furniture refinisher. I have a feeling that I should have just bought a new table and chairs. However every time I'm sanding the table I can't help but to daydream that someday, years down the road, I will be enjoying this table and all its history and the fact that it has more meaning than a factory finished table that was way over priced from Target. I feel that all the little specks of paint that no matter how many blisters I get from sanding will not come off the wood are just bits of history shining through. I'm still only on the 60 grit sand paper so I'll keep you updated on my masterful furniture finishing skill.
