I hate sanding.

I've lost my enthusiasm for refinishing furniture. It didn't take long for me to remember how much I detest sanding. Unfortunately, it's one of those projects that once you start you're more committed than most marriages are these days. So maybe we'll be stuck eating in the kitchen off of barstools forever. I'm kind of tempted to just stop sanding now and slap some spar urethane on. How bad could it really look?
