Unintended Consequences

Just before Memorial Day, Craig took his trailer to Nashville to deliver finished pieces furniture to schools for Nashville Tools for Schools. When they dropped this unstained picnic table off, the principal wanted to know if they would haul away the one they were replacing (below).

Craig thought it would be a great project for me and brought it home. I did a previous blog about the renovation process. I thought the old table had been stained so I wanted to stain it again. When it was done, we took it back to Tools for Schools. The guys were quite impressed with my (our) work. They contacted the school to see if they wanted it back and they did.

I wasn’t able to go with them when it was delivered. The principal was very impressed and wanted to know why this one was so much nicer looking than the new one that had been delivered in May..AWKWARD.

I still have lots to learn. It turns out what we renovated had not been stained. it was just discolored, weathered wood.
