I'm up to my stupid tricks again: bicycling the Oregon Coast and being unable to stay out of antique stores: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And here's...
That's amazing! Congrats!! I've only had one super-score of silver, but that one sure keeps me looking for the next.

In design, perhaps, but not in actuality.
I went ahead and reconditioned the wood. I think it looks better. [ATTACH]
