Thanks everyone! I'm quite glad to have found the forum.
I had a hobby years ago of refinishing furniture that had been left out in people's gardens. The furniture had to be in good shape of course. The best part was that the weather would have removed most of the varnish! After sanding it down to absolutely bare and tightening the structure up nicely, I'd hand rub formby's stain into it and leave it unvarnished. Ah that was a lovely hobby. Rocking chairs were my favorite.
Since then I've been quite the nomad, so furniture hasn't been very practical. But I am ever adaptable so I have become a paper artist. I found LumberJocks because I am looking for a way to make my paper projects more durable as I have a feeling that my paper crafting could grow up to be real art soon here.
Thanks for the welcome!
