I was a total snob about curb finds until last Tuesday

I used to only grab stuff that looked perfect, leaving anything with a scratch. Then I found a solid oak dresser in my town, but the top was stained. I almost walked away, but my buddy said 'it's free wood, just sand it.' I spent $15 on sandpaper and 4 hours of work. Now it looks brand new and saved me like $400. Who else has fixed up a 'damaged' curb find and been shocked by the result?

That "free wood" idea is how I started seeing potential in all kinds of worn out stuff, not just furniture.

Ever think about the stories old furniture could tell?
