So I bought this beat up chippendale patterned Drexel Heritage teak bench at a local recycler...Construction Junction...for $20 and I told my wife that I would glue and dowel the broken mortise and tenon joints, sand the paint and re-paint and place the bench in the garden. Well now that I've completed the corrective work and made a first pass at sanding the unit, it's starting to look pretty damn awesome and I am questioning if I should work to remove the balance of the paint, reinvigorate the teak finish and leave some of the "patina" or just prime and paint. I will keep you posted.
