The kind of furniture they just don't make anymore

This vintage cabinet has lovely warm wood tones, tons of storage, and the sort of sturdy craftsmanship that was built to last. A practical piece with plenty of history left to make

This is why we save weird stuff that may not have an obvious purpose

This nice brass bell had no handle, no clapper and seemingly no purpose, until Luke came in looking for a bell for his fire trailer

A bit of rope and ingenuity later, it has a new job. πŸ”” We love seeing where these odd finds end up!

Thanks for the kind words Luke, and for coming back to show us how you've fixed it up. That's some fancy knot work!
