Old wood's beauty
Going through my new pile of wood I found two huge, 2 inch thick planks, perfect to build another table in my workshop. Wood was weathered, grey and stained with paint but it had a potential!
I planed both planks and sanded them until I reached fresh wood. Narrower plank is pine but the wide one is an old fir!
They were drinking linseed oil wit turpentine like sponges but after few hours they were saturated and darkened beautifully. I’ve left the part of fir which is deteriorated by critters - it pleases me and for my purpose it makes no harm.
Few hours work and I have a metal-working and tool-sharpening table in place.
