This was really cute! And I think I'll call my latte a 'soaky' from now on, it's basically the same thing, LOL...

Jimmy no she did not have a background in carpentry except she was a farm woman who could do anything. Yes she cut it, and used chewing tobacco to stain it just as it had been stained in the beginning. She used a hoe file to bevel the edges of the table, one of my cousins has it now.

How nice to remember those dear old folk. I bet they thought you were old for your age in those days. Nicely written Justi.

Cute story, and I too like to reminisce about certain incidences of my youth, although it seems very little of it can be connected to either set of my grandparents. Consider yourself lucky to retain any memories of yours. And now I have to ask: did your grandmother really physically cut that table? To make any round table into a square or rectangular one would take a considerable amount of work! Did she have a background in carpentry? What tools did she use? How did it come out?
