Building a Boat Out of a Bed!

My Art Market customers are enjoying my resourced art and my warped sense of humor. Every week now, at Art Market, they come bring gifts of some of the most interesting pieces they found in a trash pile somewhere. Then, the next week, come to see what I was able to do with it. It has become quite the entertainment factor.
Terry, another Vendor at THE PASS MARKET located in War Memorial Park, found this gorgeous piece of wood in a trash pile and brought it to me to see if I could do something with it. The hull was a part of an old sleigh bed. The mast is the leg off an antique table.
