Got a gunrack from my grandpa the other day. The wood was real rough, painted sky blue and had notches in it for fishing poles. Well since the wood was rough i needed to sand it down, strip the paint, stain it, remove the notches for the fishing poles and reassemble it. A good days project!

Here it is with most of its blue paint on, sanding it off took forever

Sorry for my poor photography skills. I'm debating on whether or not i should restain the wood again.
