Mikes, Sams, and Terry's Cabinet restoration chronicles
Posts: 4,109
Update!
Terry's chairside is coming up to the finish line. I just have to tone and clear. The photo is with one thin coat of stain.
The Silvertone had imperfections so I stripped it again, grain filled, and lightly stained it. Once dry ill unwrap it and see if the top can be made to match the body... The body is dull and has an almost opaque toner on it. I might have to just suck it up and do the whole cabinet. Last resort though...

Kirk,
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Thanks all,
It's not easy being cheesy
Long Story Mike,
I don't know if anything is fractured as she refuses to go to the ER. She has a bleeding disease and it got bad this week. She passed out on her way to the bathroom and hurt the foot. Now I am rolling her in her computer chair. Anyway, Time to cook up some mushrooms and spinach...

Hope mom's o.k. She should go to the doctor to get checked out though. Especially if she can not walk. OIVEY!

Right now one goes to a doctor if something is SUPER wrong.
