I never thought my husband to be quite the eager handyman, largely because for longer than I really care to remember, there have been some half-finished if not barely started woodworking projects eating up valuable real estate in the garage. He\u2019d always assured be he\u2019d eventually get round to two of them in particular and I think the only reason I\u2019ve not had them thrown out was because I\u2019ve had my hands full looking after the kids.<\/p>\n
I must say that I\u2019m thoroughly impressed with the outcome now that we have what looks like a brand new bookshelf in the study and an old-style grandma chest which has somehow been brought back to life.<\/p>\n
Some woods are (almost) forever<\/h3>\n
Both these two dated pieces of furniture (or what was left of them) were inherited from my late grandmother and were brought along by my husband as part of the consignment of goods left to me. I wasn\u2019t there when everything was being sorted, otherwise I\u2019d have had these old items thrown away immediately, something I now realise would have been a bit of waste because yes, apparently you really can repurpose old wooden furniture into some really nice pieces. It all depends on the type of wood used to construct the core structure of the furniture and in our case the granny-chest was made out of a core of mahogany wood, while the freestanding wardrobe (which is now a bookshelf) was made out of a core of African Teak wood.<\/p>\n
