Our family now has a lovely spot to eat meals in the backyard! We purchased a pine picnic table from Lowe's that required assembly. Ian, of course, took it to the next level and used a gel stain for a rich hickory color, and then he put on several coats of polyurethane for protection. I was out of town when he finished it, and he surprised me with a personal touch in the center of the table. He etched a blueberry, a raspberry, and a strawberry into the wood. Such a sweet and thoughtful man! This has definitely made mealtime cleanup easier. Less food on the kitchen floor, but maybe a little more food on Hudson and the grass!
