Did anyone catch the $100,000 Trading Spaces? It was a two hour show and instead of the usual grand per household, they each had $50,000 to spend.
Designer Doug had a table made from walnut and curly maple, then proceeded to put an ebony stain on it. Carpenter Amy put the table top together and they had it drum sanded flat. She was upset because they sanded too much and some of the nail points were showing through. It was nailed from the bottom. I always used glue and screws, but I guess I should start nailing my projects like the pros do.
The only glimmer of goodness was that the table looked like crap. So crappy that Doug sanded the maple to get rid of the stain. Ed
