Acer palmatum dissectum always get my vote!

You'd love my Beni Maiko

WOW...I wouldn't do to much to that @alp ...What a find....If it were me I'd rub it down and give it a couple of coats of Bullseye 123 to seal the wood...Then paint it in a nice garden colour of your choice...You know I like green hahaha..for the table I would just drill a hole for a large patio umbrella and make a Lazy Susan to fit around the base
thats if it were me...others may have differing ideas lol

This be my next project (with a few BigC embellishments thrown in for good measure)
providing I can get hold of 2x Euro Pallets...
A Garden BBQ / Mini Bar

Oh, dear! That's a white pellet! I'm laughing .. very hard... Well, it props up your vine and bouteille, so yes, a mini bar!

How do you rub it down, with what? sand paper! I think they have passed their sell-by date. There is another bit to come on Thursday!

The garden chairs and table will certainly stay outdoors. Can I use oil based primer to seal the wood and then paint and then use paste wax to finish the job? Where can I buy these cheaply please?

I hope you were talking about the Geisha

In Japanese: She is very beautiful, isn't she!

Please go in details about how I can upcycle the furniture!

Yes Oil based primer would be best if outside and paint it with your choice of colour...not Gloss paint keep it flat and yes give it a good sanding first working down the grits if you can get hold of a little hand sander or the likes the job will be a lot easier

Hello , raining this morning but cloudy / sunny this afternoon evening . Had a potter around this evening and pricked out and potted on quite a lot of plant this morning. Not impressed with the weather forecast over the end of next week, back to 2'C overnight no good for my little plants.

That a good find Alp , with a bit of tlc it will look great.

I would like a pond in the back garden where the shed is but its unlikley to happen anytime soon, more likely when the sheds start rotting away.

Perki 2c! Wow! That's killing your plants. I would love to have a bit more rain. I had to lug watering can to and fro 5 times to water my irises. They are so small and young. I have the sinking feeling that they won't flower this year as other older ones have thrown up buds. There is another bit of the furniture. But the table is the most worn out. They look quite robust. But obviously have been sitting in the sun for probably a decade or more. The couple was very nice and the man helped son put the 3 units inside out Nissan Note, which was no mean feat.

"Beauty is in the eye of the Beer Holder"......said nobody I know

Wait and see when its finished @alp..I have lots of big ideas for this one...if they don't get trampled into the earth..

Need I say more! Don't mistake her for your wife though! Or the beer holder will be in the green compost bin for the night. Off to watch Logan's Woman in White. Hope you sleep well after the beer/wine!

So nice to have you back. You blah blah blan more than Logan and I together!

That'a quite an accomplishment ....thanks ..do I get a prize......

 

[alp]

Lol! Logan will be heartbroken as she is the greatest gardening chatterbox here. Respecting her sensitivity, no fanfare is allowed!

Make sure you get some sleep tonight!
