I don't think this was a "garbage pick" as you call it, it was a very green thing to do - quite PC in fact, economically responsible and sound. Congrats on your new find!

great find! If you want to mend, try a little wood spackle, apply and shape, then stain. Or , just touch up with some Old Enlidsh polish and it will not show as much. Always smart to pick up something that you can put to good use.

I have a hutch that was stored in a shed and a squarle at the bottom, I think it just adds to the natural rustic look. Just use some old english, its a great find.

I would call it eco-recycling. :) Much better than garbage picking. Plus, one person's junk is another's treasure.

Great find!

Great find. You're the only one who will see the "chewing". Everyone else will be looking at your beautiful quilts.
