Altar Top

The sun is out, the air is warm and on a day like this I would rather be at a horseshoe tournament. But it's time to put on The Field Behind the Plow and get to work on the top.



















The boards needed a fair bit of piecing back together and cleaning. A lot of cleaning. I finally bolted a scrub brush to an old power sander to get things moving along. What beauty lies beneath...












All the boards I am using for the top came out of a canola leg. In the bottom photo you can see the depth to which the canola oils have stained the lumber, as well as some sculpting on the face.
