I found this pretty cool maple work bench down in the basement garage. One of the seams was starting to split apart, so I glued, clamped and let it sit over night.
I started sanding it down because I thought might be able to turn it into a butcher block table for the kitchen. But it has a lot of knicks and oil stains on the surface. I wish I had access to an industrial surface sander!
I thought about flipping it over and using the underside for the top but it has these big holes cut out for anchoring bolts. Maybe I could plug them with maple circles or just use the work bench for a work bench.
It is not just the picture, the clamp was really bending that much!
