oak
Oak is such a hard wood. It's kind of like certain people who have this hard exterior. Difficult to finish and make smooth. However, when it's all said and done, oak can have one of the best finishes of any of the wood family. I wish I was like that!
oak
I remember trying to sand the rough edges of that oak table my grandfather had left for me following his untimely death. No matter how hard I worked on smoothing out the edges, I just couldn't make it seem to work. I was frustrated. Our relationship wasn't the best, and maybe in some strange twist of fate, this oak table was trying to tell me that it was too late. Too late to make things right. Too late to listen. My grandfather was right, and I was too stubborn to look past his rough exterior to see that he was right.
