I won a bidding war on an antique 60 drawer card catalog in a high school surplus auction.. got it home and in the house and after it being here a few days, my S.O. spotted this magical detail I hadn’t noticed before.

Sounds like the kids are still kids!
But seriously… I think you can fill that in and make it “go away.”
Plot twist, S.O. did that after realizing how much you bid for it
My husband and I bought our first house from a retired high school teacher who was downsizing and sold us a bunch of his furniture including an awesome old drafting table he got when the school upgraded. There’s a few things carved in it but my favorite is “Lisa Hoffmann sucks donkey dicks”
Funk what?
Would be great to be a teacher and do stuff like this through out the school, Because it would always be blamed on a student.
I had that but it was on the side of a red Jeep I had purchased. Took me a couple of months to notice it on the drivers door
Ahhh, good ole’ School house wood grain…. Always offensive.
Hey, that’s authentic!
The loser of the bidding war left you a parting gift!

Graffiti is probably as old as mankind, we long to leave our mark on the world, and sexual connotations are the ultimate FU to the world.
Hahaha
Ooooh! SOMEBODY is getting detention!
There’s gotta be a market for “detention desk” furniture. I’d love to have one!
If it’s not too deep a round of steel wool may fix it do the entire surface and do it lightly to begin with.
I once saw graffiti in Boston’s North End, a famously Italian neighborhood, that said “Fuck youse”
Add some black wax to make that original feature really pop
I love the smell of card catalogues.
Can we see the rest of it? I love furniture and I’m intrigued by the 60 drawers. Sounds awesome!
Rub walnut and water on it?
*”It’ll buff out”*
My children had grown and moved out. I took apart one of the beds to move and one of the kids wrote some choice words about their sibling on the bottom of the mattress support. I, of course, took pictures and posted on the internet to show off my prize.
Lisa did give a killer BJ back in the day 😁
Ah yes…”That’s the whole trouble. You can’t ever find a place that’s nice and peaceful, because there isn’t any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you’re not looking, somebody’ll sneak up and write “Fuck you” right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it’ll say “Holden Caulfield” on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it’ll say “Fuck you.” I’m positive, in fact.”

Peeled back like 80 years worth of wallpaper in my sons room and there written on the lathing was VE Day May 8 1945.
Rub some dark stain over the scratches then clear coat over that.
No worries that just gives it “character,” as they say.
High school art
Try rubbing a walnut over the scratches, or just embrace the back story!
Tibet almond stick to the rescue!
i’ve always wanted to have a system that i could upcycle a card catalog with. for a long time i thought i’d just jot down memories
When we were kids, my littlest brother gave my grandma a drawing with the word XAPMAT on it. No one knew what it meant or gave it much mind until years later my Mom saw the reflexion of the refrigerator on the window and read the word backwards for the first time.
Apparently he wrote the word backwarsds off a box he was looking at.
