After a accident at Thanksgiving where my grandmother's china was broken, I decided to refinish her kitchen table. I use the table in my own kitchen, it was starting to show it"s age. After the holidays I dropped the table off at my refinisher, I just got it back. I can't believe how good the table looks!!! Was surpized to learn table not oak but chestnut, and older then I thought. Table went from vintage to antique, and now has a new leaf. All done for free, love the barter system .

This being tax season ... remember to include the value of the barter as income as per government tax code and is taxable and enforceable. :hu

That's wonderful NYboy! Now with that new leaf maybe we can all squeeze around it when we come for dinner. Oh, don't worry, we'll do the cooking! ;)
