You can’t make it up: In December 2014 I built this table. It was one of my first pieces made of reclaimed materials (in this case an old hog oiler and a lower shelf off of an otherwise destroyed Queen Anne table). I always liked it, and struggled whether to keep it or sell it. I sold the table to an antique dealer at a garage sale April ’15 for $65 dollars. Flash ahead three years: Last Saturday I had a couple of extra minutes after work, so I stopped by an antique mall on my way home. I walked in, and there to my immediate left was…the table! It was marked down from $175.00 to….$19.99. Apparently the general public didn’t think much of the table, but I still like it a lot and bought it back! I’m chalking it up to good Karma.
A couple of weeks later I had another garage sale at home, and I just couldn’t resist. I put the hog oiler table up for sale. I sold it again. For $65 again. You can’t make it up.
