It was my wife's birthday. She is quite a practical person and had been wanting a patio table for quite a long time. I had been resisting but she found a deal that was too good to pass up. A large teak table and benches. As you can see the table was in pretty rough shape. Joints coming unglued and the teak had been left to dry in the sun and was quite parched. Begin the next project... So after complete tear down and rebuild, the table has been transformed into a very nice set again. The set originally had 4 benches but I had to use one bench for parts. The bench that was sacrificed was already broken and most of the wood was so dry that it was beyond being revived. I used stainless steel hardware after finding that the last person had put the table together with drywall screws. I used marine epoxy to reglue and teak oil on the finish and it seems to be very water resistant.
