HA! I work in the same alley as Berbere. In fact I have made furniture for them. Their showroom has some INSANE stuff. Really beautiful things. Couldn't say how much the basket would be. But it's w...
Ya. Beeswax will make it nice and shiny. If you do that try to avoid the stuff made with turpentine. it's nasty.
My personal favorite is Carnauba wax, which (somebody correct me if I'm wron...
Arc, you just made me snort, then chortle, then belly laugh.
My best moment was getting confused while driving up the east coast from North Carolina to New Jersey to visit a girl I was dating...
No parade, or rain. I'm not debating the relative price of the couch. Fact is $900 is a large enough chunk of money to mean something. I am fully aware that pillows do not always come with couches....

Ooo. Stain is just a real pain in the arse. Unless it is unlivable, I would leave it be. Re- staining old raw wood is a real gamble. You may really need to take off a lot of material to get that...
