Default Something Different For a Change

Nicely done! I like doing projects like that because it takes a
different skill set as well as imagination. Thanks again for posting
your pics of the project.

All of those little details you found like the unfinished areas, the

ULTRA cool number on the leg, even the previous repairs... all part of
that piece's story. Not to take away from anyone's build efforts, but
working with a fine old piece to give it a little more life (even if it
wasn't really special in its day) makes me smile.

In TN, SWMBO shared a booth with a couple friends in one of the
galleries; they drug home a "veritable plehtora" of stuff worked over
for them to sell...from some really nice old pieces that may have seen 3
or more layers of paint over solid Hond mahogany (we kept that one; it's
in the living room here now at the farm ) to "primitives".

One did, indeed, find almost every conceivable problem plus "fix"...
