<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TWG, post: 10609231, member: 88674&quot;]On closer inspection, it appears the reddish color is some form of old lacquer, as some of the chips do reveal the wood underneath. So as you say, a careful sanding to remove that old layer, and we might have a decent start. Once the sanding is done, would you recommend tung oil to bring out the wood grain? I&#039;ve had great success using that with other wood types. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wondering if Mr Bracher was a telescope maker of some repute - apparently the Smithsonian has one of his.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
