Cyn's present

This was an old bench we got from a friend, several years ago. I made new slats for it, and repainted the castings.

Here's Escher guarding it, last night.

Just don't look too closely. ;-)

You replaced all the slats? It looks great! but you must have had quite a time wrapping it.
:)

Not too tough. I just walked around it with a roll of wrapping paper, and then folded the top over.

I love benches like that! You did a beautiful job.

That's really beautiful Kevin! It's not a snow blower, but maybe it will make spring hurry faster? :^)

It is BEAUTIFUL!

It looks good, Kevin.

So how'd you keep it a secret?

I worked on the wooden parts while I was on vacation. I got them all the way to stained in two days. I had them on sawhorses then, when she walked into the room. She didn't seem to notice.



After that, I told her I had her christmas present in there, so I don't think she went back in. Before she came home from work, one night, I sprayed primer onto the castings - in the basement. It filled the house with fumes. Not good. When I did the paint, I sprayed it in the garage, then carried them to the basement to dry. She thought something smelled a bit odd in the garage.

So she knew something was going on, just not what.

I love the fact that you wrapped it.
