Hey guys! For over a year I’ve really wanted to sand off the stain on our table benches and show the original wood and just clean them up in general! We have two benches but only got around to cleaning one up at the moment.
Original bench (note the white spots of mold) these benches were in desperate need of attention!
We planed the stain off
Due to our planers blades being slightly dull you can see that it ended up giving the bench a slight dent in the wood
We had to get the sander and sand off the stain from the ends of the bench though couldn’t get it all off completly.
We did this on a nice warm day so we didn’t get frostbite this time!
We put the bench back together along with glueing the legs on
We sealed the wood with polyurethane
We’ll be doing the other bench probably next week! I honestly can’t wait for them to all match and look the same!
This project was probably one of my favorite because we got to take something old and dark ANNND turn it into a beautiful bench that matches our table and kitchen layout so much better!
That looks awesome!
