Today I worked on a plywood panel that I scavenged. It is really strong wood. I pulled staples, being oh so careful not to bruise the wood, for about 2.5 hours. My right palm is swollen Sanded it to perfection. I knew it was going to look pristeen when I worked on it, cleaned it up. Honestly, it is beautiful! I discovered some new wood putty called Plastic Wood by DAP at Home Depot a couple of weeks ago. I have tried every brand there it but this one RAWKS! After it dried and I sanded it where I had puttied, you could not see any dimples (holes where I removed nails) ... This piece is going to be a table top for a friend's table I am making for her. She said she wanted it to be 20" by 30". Her Mom had a stroke and she has been gone North for awhile taking care of her Mother. I will put a half shelf above the tabletop and hide a pretty light under the bottom of the half shelf. I hope to complete this table and have it sitting on her back patio when she returns home. She doesnot know she will have it so soon. And I fed her husband last night. I cooked over 5 pounds of chicken tenders last night on the grill. Took an xtra large plate of these to him.
