Bench

I have wanted a bench for my dining room for a long time.  It has been difficult to find one that is big enough, I have a 10 foot long dining table.

I finally found one at the salvage yard that was perfect, well the perfect length, but needed a lot of work.

Some odd person nailed linoleum on the top...............................with a thousand nails by the way.  The backing of the linoleum was stuck to the bench and I had to scape it all off, which took forever.

but.....................

I think it turned out great.

I stripped the top and used an ebony wax.  I like Briwax the best. 

I sanded it all over, leaving the paint on the bottom, then coating it with Tung Oil.

I love how it looks in the dining room with our bowling lane table.
