| This one just about did me in. it was actually beyond my carpentary skills. this organ came out of a barn and it had literally inches of dirt on it and wasp nests, dirt dauber nests, rat droppings, and all sorts of unidentified objects. I mean total yuk. my husband helped me gut it. except for the table top and the board underneath the desk, we were able to recycle and use parts of the organ to make the desk. i had an oak table top that was actually used for the desk part. where you see in the top part i upholsertered a board cut to fit the area and then added lace to cover the upholstery to give it a vintage look. i used beeswax to give it a shine and with my husband's help, i think it really turned out nice.

| I KNOW it turned out nice. That is just a wonderful piece Sherree. You and the DH do marvalous things with nasty stuff. |

| I really like that!!! Gived me and idea that one could use and old upright in much the same way. You could gut the insides out and put shelves in that area, maybe even glass ones and a light up under the lid. A different sort of curio. I guess you could do the same thing for the lower part also.
