<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1541837, member: 2844&quot;]I&#039;m sorry it didn&#039;t work the way you intended. It would have been nice, but it is also beautiful the way it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know the feeling when a project just doesn&#039;t go as planned. I am currently trying to restore an antique writing slope, restored the &#039;gilding&#039; on the sciver, bought a replacement escutcheon, and just then I discovered that someone stuck some fake woodgrain junk on top of the real wood of the lid.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>There doesn&#039;t seem to be a wood friendly way to remove it, so I wil have to find someone who can sand it for me. I have neither the muscle power nor the equipment for that. And I have no idea what it will reveal. The lid looks fine on the inside, maybe it was just badly stained on the outside. I wish they had left it that way, much easier to restore.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
