Nyboy, I buy 'em small and cheap then wait years for them to grow up. Mine isn't quite that big, but it's getting there and I don't have $5000 in it.

I think it is a joke what some people ask, I been to a lot of nurseries never see one anywhere near that price

Wait...what? You're having leaves made out of it for your grandmas table? Isn't your g'mas table chestnut wood? Is that what that table is too? (hang on while I think of another question...) I like that table! If I lived closer I'd offer them $30 and arm wrestle you for it, haha.

Here's our newest CL find. $350 which may not have been a steal, but it's well made and is full grain everywhere, even the sides and the back.
Very comfortable also.


Here's the side. You can see how sun faded the arm is. Below it I tested a bit of leather dye. I like how it took, so after Christmas I'm going to do the whole couch.





I also found dh a Smith Machine bench press. He's real happy with it. He cancelled his gym membership a few months back because his shoulder has been bothering him. He went and got it yesterday and set it up in the garage. Spent the rest of the day going in and out and doing different exercises on it. I can use it too, without the Olympic weights which are pretty intimidating to me. So look out @ninnymary !

I found the neighbors a smokin' deal on pipe corral panels for their two new horses too.
They have all been calling me the CL Queen and giving me requests.

Leather couch for $350 around here big steal. Thistle your right grandmothers table is chestnut, my thinking is anytime I use leaves will be using table cloth, so wood type does not matter.
