This weekend was devoted to two contradictory principles: that medieval re-creation is a fun, artistic, and escapist hobby; and that I am involved with the real-life numbers side of it where I have to stare at spreadsheets and tell people they can't spend money to have fun.

Nevertheless, I had a good time. Work is really, really busy so I should get back to it.

Not that I really know how to use them, but a counting table illustration would be fun! The surface just needs to be flat for paperwork.

Thanks so much.

Weren't you referring to the counting board illustration?

Ok, final question:

The wood is pine, yours is 23" by 47", gonna be the same 3 legged style--do you want it stained brown or left pine colored?

Re: Ok, final question:

I lean towards stained, but either is fine.

23"x47" may be a bit big; I suspect 12ish"x30" is probably sufficient for my needs and size.
