Steve's Story:

Story: There was an old white pine dresser that sadly didn't make it through the flood we had in the basement back in 2020. I managed to salvage the drawers, but they to succumbed to the elements. These four surviving pieces of wood were the backs of the drawers. I thought they looked kinda cool, the way someone had attempted to paint them, possibly with the drawers still in the dresser. When I placed them out on the workbench, I don't know why, but I instantly thought of the "Cottage" Andy Warhol had purchased out on the eastern end of Long Island back in 1971, which of course was in Montauk, New York. God knows what that property is worth now.
