January 17, 20206 yr Popular Post I took my wife to work this morning because of the freezing rain. On the way back I noticed a double oak pedistal and top on the side with the trash cans as its trash day. The trash truck usually s there just before dawn but with the sleet and rain they may not be out at all today. Anyway I went home thought about it as it was around the corner from my house and stated the truck. Went inside and paced. Took an ice scraper too the truck. Can't get it with a dolly as the sidewalks are cover in ice and slick. Got my truck up there and it's still there. There are a lot of people who drive around at night just looking for old furniture,etc for there yard sales,etc It's there... about busted my butt trying to get it loaded and sliding the truck around on the slick street wasn't fun either.

January 18, 20206 yr Nice score. Is the top solid wood or laminate? Either way the base was well worth the price!

January 19, 20206 yr Really nice 10 finger discount. That is a real steal even if you had to work dangerously for it. Glad you didn't fall and break bones or pull some muscles. Looking forward to the new table when you get the leaves made.
January 19, 20206 yr Author Popular Post The wife's not gong for the two leafs. Maybe one. I have the old sunburst oak table but after the refinish years ago it took water a long one edge from a cup turnover at night from an old cat we had and it's not repairable without goingr through the finish. I need to finish cleaning my cup guns then I can refinish the table and possibly keep it. Looking at the base it's in excellent shape and the table has a solid oak apron. Nice summer project.... Wife doesn't see the difference but it's worth more than the Sunburst table finished...
January 19, 20206 yr If it got wet over night you might want to dry it as quickly as possible. Solid wood glued up has a tendency to show some glue lines and be able to feel them over time and hopefully you can keep it a controlled temperature surroundings.

It's in the shop where it's acclimated year round. It was frozing rain that morning so as soon as I got it in the garage I brushed the ice off it. Regular rain would have done a bit of damage probably .I think it's alight as I see no signs of problems....
