One of which is an old radio cabinet that had TONS of embellishments on it! Not to mention about 6 coats of paint and years of grease! It was in a kitchen being used as a cabinet right beside a stove!!! I used toothbrushes and tooth picks to get at the little bits of tight areas. Your sewing cabinet is really lovely. And the fact that it is something from your own family with a story is so great! You are very fortunate. Have you tried using Naval Jelly for the rust on the metal areas? I found that it works wonders on the rust removal. As for the wood... I ended up using Tung oil and it brought out the lovely wood grain and made it look really rich. What a lovely piece to pass on to your own family. P.S. write up a history on the piece and attach it to the bottom of the cabinet.Joan's Good Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15499105602081819570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178150141831482833.post-11092375280215257732009-11-29T14:35:50.309-08:002009-11-29T14:35:50.309-08:00I don't know much about restoring but I like t...I don't know much about restoring but I like the idea of an oil rather than varnish because you have stripped so much off it, it would be somehow mete to have it as bare as possible.Valerie Solanashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04385903354694806297noreply@blogger.com
