[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 247039, member: 1136"]I know, I know, refinishing antiques is a big No-No but I like to save ones from the trash and give them new life.. I'm about to finish up a early 1900s Acme pie safe. Its sanded down and ready for a finish. Id like to give it that nice buttery patina glow, which I know only comes with time, but if there's a stain and wax that can help me get close Id love to know :) Here's a before of the pie safe [IMG]http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20170120_072315_848_zpsb65wr7mh.jpg[/IMG] Here's examples of where Id like to take it [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f1/0a/85/f10a85d3779ec5db78a140a15779630d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ed/3e/a5/ed3ea50a96095beab0fb16d5eb7a58c9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://p1.liveauctioneers.com/632/39524/16964660_1_x.jpg?version=1365531452[/IMG][/QUOTE]
