A day. DH helps peel, cut and core, so it goes along pretty good. I even canned the leftover syrup and used it for peaches the next year!

That is what we call ''The Oak." Mom got it from her side of the family and we used the scarves and mittens from the middle drawer for dress-up. We also discovered Mom's black driving gloves made monkey feet! It did have that wonderful antique patina and DH refinished it. It now has 100 years to renew that patina and I get to enjoy the wood :o)
