Sharing my basket case project for the Winter (or earlier).

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments. I will keep a photo log of the entire process.


Right now, I have taken the cabinet apart, and am in the process of removing the outer layer of veneer. The termites/bugs had eaten most of the inside layers, but did not touch the outer layer. Perhaps they did not like the lacquer coating that might be present.

The rear of the face has only slight damage, I will figure out what to fill it in with, then level it off, and might put a thin piece of backing to make it look uniform. Aging the look of the new wood shouldn't be too hard to do.

I have other things going on at the moment but I get a chance to work on this off and on. I am determined though to follow through with it.

I will keep y'all informed.
Ron, good to see you back, and if you are in the Nashville area in October we are having the swap meet on the 14th, we'd love to see you there.

Take care and talk to you all later,
Gary.
