What a great project and tribute. I love having things that were used by cherished loved ones. Not so much something sitting on a shelf, something they really used. Very nice work preserving family history.

Old furniture is like people; over time they gather scars, experience, and character.

A fine picture of this beautiful restoration of this bench to better than former condition!
You did a thoroughly job of bring it back to its early beauty. A fine family heirloom.

@Barbra: Hi! We do have a rocking chair that fits that description, came from Mom’s father’s house in Florida and belonged to Aunt Bertha, but if memory serves this particular bench was picked up by Dad on one of his sales road trips–origination unknown.

I remember your Mom telling me that the bench came from her father’s house here in Florida, She said it belonged to his second wife. I belive she said her name was Aunt Bert. She was her mother’s sister! (your great aunt) Just thought you might want to know! Barb
