[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 687370, member: 5066"]That's my chest! Yeah well, the shellac/varnish clear coat over the chest is yellowish at the top but, as you go down towards the feet it is very dirty, filthy you might say which is kinda hard to see in the photo. Plus, i am pretty sure that's not the original clear coat, this chest was restored sometime in the past (lid was warped) and i am guessing they added clear coat at that time. Still haven't removed clear coat as of today but (except small spot at top), i don't see it as a "historical surface" that shouldn't be removed either.[/QUOTE]
