Well yeah, 1919 isn't that old so probably did have an original surface, you did the right thing to refinish but I would avoid sandpaper. It's...
Even museum pieces have issues, most of them anyway. Old furniture pieces don't get to be that old or older without having issues, just part of...
I don't see why not, although I would avoid the use of sandpaper. Hard to tell what exactly is going on with detail photos except, it's an old...
Ditto, I use Johnson's as well for exterior finished surfaces, it works very well, is readily available, and cheap! On interior bare wood...
I try to embrace change, why fight the inevitable? although I do agree, it is often easier said than done, that's for sure. Way past time for...
You do realize there is a price depression in antique furniture these days, in fact, there has never been a better time to buy, at least in my...

LOL, It's possible!
Well, I am calling it a Tudor rose, DEAL WITH IT!:cigar: Naturally, unlike others here who are never wrong, I could be wrong.:p It's not American...
Maybe @KikoBlueEyes could take a photo of her glue blocks and post. Naturally, that wouldn't be definitive as PA used a lot of yellow pine in...
