A few weeks ago Wallace and I took a trip and we bought our daughter a bed at the Covesville antique store. It needed quite a bit of work. After a lot of lacquer thinner and steel wool, the bed looked like this...

The entire bed was very dry. When I applied linseed oil, the bed drank it up so eagerly I could almost hear a slurping sound.

| The oiling is complete. |
I've taken advantage of the Labor Day sales and acquired a new mattress and box spring, so after rubbing on an application of paste wax, the refinishing will be complete and Billye will have a new place to dream sweetly.
