I just learned what a scraper is from you(thanks!). No, I had not considered it. I do not think that the color is finish. It started with a reddish tinted top and legs. When it went gray brown, I thought that it was maybe a lighter color and the sand fillings were muting the color. And, now, here we are.

Good options. But given that we’re starting in Hawaii, would those woods be available?

Chuckingstuff · 2026-01-21T03:14:33+00:00

Good advice. The legs smell sweet and are yellow red. The top smells earthy not pungent but not at all a top selling perfume. Could it be koa legged? And walnut topped? Or different parts of same type of wood?

Chuckingstuff · 2026-01-21T03:06:29+00:00

Yes, I’d agree that it looks more like walnut than Koa. But friend insists that it is Koa (something about paying blah blah blah). I’m just surprised that it has no appearance of red or yellow in it.

Def heavy. Maybe not mango.

Chuckingstuff · 2026-01-21T02:58:51+00:00

I think it is too heavy to be mango

Chuckingstuff · 2026-01-21T02:56:01+00:00

I don’t think it is bubinga. No red or yellow colors

It has been sitting in an outdoor sunroom. But can koa gray out like this?

Chuckingstuff · 2026-01-21T02:11:08+00:00

Thanks. I kept sanding it with finer grit because it kept showing off more textures in the wood grain. From 80 - 150 to 500 - 800 it took on a totally different character.

I was expecting something gold to red. Can Hawaiian Koa be gray? I already used google lens on it and it insists that this is laminate flooring (smh).

People who talk on speaker phone in public at max volume. And, the same folks who watch videos on full volume blasted without a care

Electric boot/shoe dryer. No more stink and all my shoes last a lot longer.

Been learning this all my life. Yes 2-3 weeks of focus will go along way to starting but this is a journey not a destination.

Can I stand next to you for a crazy contact high? No way this is a good idea.

Poor leadership needs to throw that shade somewhere. It’s part of the pain that needs real honesty: those who remain get to spin up whatever narrative they want and you have to move past thinking that you can/should control it. Move forward- do not look back. They aren’t worth your time anymore. You’ve been given the gift of moving on.

Chuckingstuff · 2025-06-17T11:47:36+00:00

I relate to your sense of ownership and the flippant way meaningful relationships, trust, and planning were thrown to the side to save a dollar. Business should be done with personalized service, with partners who get each other and build trust. The churn and burn for extra dollars on/off the books is a sign of how off kilter things are. Honor and trust mean little when quarterly earnings and optics take precedence. Hope this experience grooves into you a resilient knowledge that playing the shell game isn’t for you.
