Deacon’s Bench Reveal

Deacon’s Bench Reveal

The last time I mentioned my barn wood deacon's bench, it looked like a cow. The bench part of this piece wasn't constructed of the same beautiful barn wood as the sides and back.  It painted up quite differently and I was unhappy with the contrast.  Luckily, I was given the...
