Sanding Down the Maple Top

When we were up in Bellingham a couple of weeks ago visiting an architectural salvage store we came across an old dry sink / kitchen counter that is made of maple put together with trunnels that run through locking it all together. The overall dimensions of the piece is about 60 inches by 30 inches. We are planning on cleaning it up and putting it in the laundry room over the washer and dryer. Below is a quick 10 minute rendering of the laundry room that I did to see what stuff will look like (you can also see in this the cover that we are working on for the HVAC system).

Here are the progress pictures of the work that Kristen has been doing on the piece. Once it is all sanded I think that we will put a coat of stain and urathane on it.
