Happy Birthday

My father in law just had a birthday & I had the perfect gift for him. I'd been waiting for just the right time.

A Treasure

About 20 years ago Jonathan's dad built this desk for the kids. It definetly got used (& abused) and then just sat in the shop until Steve gave it to us to do what we wanted to with it. Didn't think sand paper could take off so much, everything from crayon, pen, map colors, markers and GLUE! After sanding and staining it turned out beautiful! Something to pass down for generations.
