Before, and after.
The before photo is exactly how it was when I got it. They had already done
some stripping to the top and just left it that way for years.
A dog had chewed the legs and the decorative piece on the bottom. It turned
out pretty well though and still has an "old" look to it. I left some of the
distressed look to it so it didn't seem so refinished.

I wish I could see it.

Apparently, my news service didn't get the picture.

A remarkable transformation. Nicely done!

(btw, I stole your surveyor's tripod/lamp idea.)

Good job. I like the lamp too.

Hey guys, thanks for all of the kind words!
I was both pleased and surprised at how well it turned out.

To those of you who loved the lamp...
It's a Hampton Bay and was at Home Depot for $299. I caught it on clearance
for $59 about a year ago. It collapses to a table lamp size too.
Great lamp but hard to find a spot to put it LOL

IF any of you were interested in tryig to build one I'd be happy to email
you close up photos.
let me know...
