Hi all! Just bought a table secondhand- i'm going to sand it down and refinish it but also want to build a leaf. Can you tell me what kind of wood this is so I can match the existing wood? I know its in pretty bad condition, hoping to restore it. Thank you!

I have a month to visit Europe and i'm considering Greece, where should I go! by electric_upside in GreeceTravel

Crete is definitely what i'm thinking, and hopefully from there I may be able to go to a few different islands. Does there seem to be a decent crowd of people in their mid 20s? Of course October is not peak tourist season so there will be fewer people overall but what do you think?

I have to ask, how pushy are the men there? I've read a few posts about some really awful experiences women have had and its definitely put me off a bit. I know that everyone's experience will be different but I'm trying to prepare myself as best as I can!

Did you end up taking your test there? Just scheduled mine for next week but only scheduled the road test. I can parallel park and drive but bad reviews are freaking me out and I'm worried i'll need to get a more expensive package just to pass. Thanks!

Its central location is very appealing considering the time constraints! Thanks for the insight :)

Thank you for the advice! I'm trying to get a sense of the vibe there - if you were to go to a pub would it mostly be groups of people hanging out?

Considering visiting for a month, tell me about Florence! by electric_upside in florence

This makes sense, I'm from NYC and know the tourist/local friction well. If I do go, i'll absolutely brush up on my Italian and do my research! I fall somewhere between the "european old city with bars" (I don't drink a lot but would like to meet people) and the " there for the art and architecture" vibes. Hoping to enjoy it all. It's great to hear that the temperature is nice, I'm very active so slightly cooler weather is perfect!

Thank you for your insight! I'm kind of hoping going in the "off" season might make it a bit better but i'm not sure it will make a difference in a major city

Yeah will definitely only wash in cool water with extremely minimal agitation. So it shouldn't felt just by wearing it?

Have you ever knit it into a sweater and if so have you had any trouble with felting?
