No Stress When It Comes To Distressing ~

Plain old pine. Not perfectly straight. Comes with some flaws and blemishes.

I could have spent a bit more money for "prettier" pine. But nope. I love plain old pine. It has character ~ character is good :)

I bought 3 pieces of 1x12x8 to make my tabletop.Ben and I distressed them a bit earlier tonight. We used hammers and chisels taking chunks (not to big of course) and knicks out randomly in hopes it will age it even a little bit.

I'm sanding now ~ softening the corners and edges before I start staining tomorrow or Saturday.

This whole process reminds of how we are not perfect ~ we comes with flaws and lots of them! 
BUT Jesus loves us anyway ~ ALOT!
It's a process as He works in our lives chipping away at the yuck as we allow Him to. He loves you and me and desires for us to place our faith and trust in Him alone so He can begin that work in us :)

Will keep you updated on this table journey ~
