Beautiful restoration Brandy; pretty obvious you love the work. In fact,I suspect it is not work at all for you;like a pilot friend of mine, you would probably do it for nothing if someone would make sure the family had food and the kids had shoes ! Enjoy looking at all your projects,keep posting.

this is a french chest from around 1700-1750 made of walnut.been in a wet spot for a while,all mildew coming out of the beetle holes.Most of the older patches don't have much mildew on them.I have my work cut out for me with this one,should look pretty good by Wednesday.Enjoy.
