    Girl i love how you do the woodwork yourself, I watch a lot of upcycling and furniture flip and home DIY videos and while it's fine to get your husband or father to help it just feels so much more within my ability when I see women actually doing the work themselves. Of course there are safety issues that come with using power tools and no shame to anyone without woodworking experience who needs to get someone else to do it for them, but it still feels empowering to see women who know how to use these tools safely and well.

    Aloha from the Pacific Northwest! Wanted to share a thrifting score- I found some round bamboo salad plates in the 90% off bin at a thrift shop. Brought them home, sanded down with 320 grit paper, used a light stain to bring out the bamboo, sealed and gifted. Love your ideas; they inspire me to think out of the box! Minute marker 5:30- pun intended! 😄

      Did you gift them as a food item? It doesn't sound like you would be able to use them for food again. Depending on what you used for a stain and a sealer. I guess you could stain it with coffee and then seal it with mineral oil and then it would be food safe.

    Question about the transfers. I have done/tried numerous ones and they all seem to have an outline that won't go away that really shows up when sealed. Any thoughts on this? I have scrapped so many things because my eyes are drawn to the outline that's left.
