Today I did a little work on the solid oak coffee table I'm refinishing. It was scratched and water damaged but I think I've been able to sand out all the damage so now it's just applying a few coats of stain + polyurethane finish to it then reassembling the legs and getting it from the garage to the living room. OMG, it's REALLY heavy! Here's a pic of part of the surface before I started: I already finished the matching end table that was also damaged in the same manner as the coffee table. It turned out really well The stain I'm using is more of a honey-brown stain. The color code was 'Golden Oak' on the stain I bought. The original stain was a darker brown. I think the new color is 'warmer'? I'm happy with it in any case.

My Grandfather, on my father's side, was a championship marksman with I believe if was called The Canadian Rifle Association. He won many awards in shooting competitions. Today in Canada, next to impossible to own a firearm legally. Semi automatic and automatic rifles all banned. Many hand guns as well banned. The criminals have illegal guns of course but so far, they're pretty much using them on each other

Love that tree! Nope for me too!

Wet & humid today here as well but hey, we needed a good rain about now so I'm OK with that. Unsettled all weekend here but should get some nice sun parts of tomorrow. When ever I catch myself moping about because of the heat or humidity I remember the other season we have .... Suddenly, I'm more appreciative of the heat lol.

Can you even do that without changing out the water completely?

I did a summer Vaca. in Az in mid-July years ago for 2 weeks with the wife & kid. Yeah; it was HOT but like you said, a dry heat so to me not nearly as bad as say Fla in July with soul-sucking humidity. The one thing I remember though was the pool at a hotel we stayed at in Lake Havasu was as hot as the air so it was virtually pointless going for a swim We had a blast though. Grand Canyon, Lake Havasu, Yuma, 4 days at a dude ranch in Tucson (my ass still hurts from that one ), Parker Az then ended in Laughlin before flying back from Vegas. That was one of those trips your remember forever! Had a ton of fun!!
