If you looked at the pic or links I gave, you’ll see that the originals I show are also dished or tray top tables. Dished top is believed to have...
What’s wrong with black? You definitely don’t want to strip this, would add at least ten years to your age and wood doesn’t look worth it. Doesn’t...
So you’re getting enough heat to melt brass from a simple propane torch? Surprising to me but my experience with hot metal work is limited to a...
This is actually a three part question. 1. What style is it: It’s a loose adaptation of a Boston Queen Anne 1750 tea table with slides for candle...
This is 19th century into early 20th, and not earlier period. And yes, you’ve discovered the later additions, look to me to have been done in...
I don’t think the backsplash is needed (and too much work) but replacing the two missing drawer pulls would be pretty inexpensive. Just measure...
Are you casting in brass? If so I’m very impressed by your work and your high school. I would love to see the process you are using, if you could...

I’m not interested in a pissing contest. I was NOT being sarcastic or trying to attack you. I simply don’t see an authentic piece of antique...
Heck, takes a lot more than that to make me even borderline angry. I thought you were looking for opinions and advice, but it seems you think you...
Sorry, reality check. Does someone really think this looks to have been made in the 1600’s? As always, the pictures are way inadequate. Where are...
White, pink and aqua: that sounds like milk, strawberry milk, and spoiled milk?
This is a 20th century factory piece, so not worth much of a time investment unless you are keeping for yourself. It looks like a painted on...
Well that really sucks. Did it seem like the thief knew to steal from her because she was featured on the show, or was it random? I attended the...
Easiest approach is a walnut rub-on oil varnish mix, by Howard’s, Minwax, Watco, etc. Match the color since there are lots of choices. I would not...
