Happy Birthdady Didi
The craftsman opened up the shop again last week, to finish up this project for my mom's birthday.
I didn't actually build the bench this time, just stripped and repainted.
I had some leftover cork flooring that I used to make the motif that I glued to the backrest. Unfortunatly, the glue expanded up around the edges of the pieces and gave me fits. For the most part I was able to get it off, but unlike wood I couldn't really sand it, or the color on the surface of the cork would come off.
I'll get the final picture for you today, of the bench resting and decorated in mom's living room.
In other news, maybe I put up a picture of my new toy?

Chuck, I was hoping to see a pic of the new toy and maybe some new hottie on the back of it, as well! C'mon man! Get to posting!

was it Gorilla glue that expanded? You gotta be careful with the urethane based glues.

It was that damn gorilla glue! I see you have experienced that.
I even read the instructions and was expecting it, but I should have stood by and cleaned as it oozed out of the cracks....

The corner of Lincoln & Lincoln has developed into quite the hotbed in the arts & crafts community!
