Someone has probably brought this up before, but, I can only remember a discussion on the arch of 70s and 90s.

So, I bought another 84 on Sat. It was in good shape except for the 3 inch square hole in the top. Someone had purposefully put it there. Who knows why.

I am ordering some 1/8 inch 3 ply plywood for a new arch and go to look at the grain on one of my un-refinished specimens. The grain is front to back - what I had expected. What I had never noticed before was the faux grain painted on in the opposite direction, top to bottom. Not a lot, but definitely there. You know that these arches were toned a dark English Walnut brown so the fake grain does not really stand out, at least now that the finish has yellowed. Interesting thing is, that the one I am fixing has no faux grain work on the arch.

What do you think?

I can take a picture - If I have to.
