I suppose I would have gotten more done IF I had NOT gone to my ‘favorite’ auction on Saturday.

oakbuffettLots of people there but I did manage to get a couple of what I think are jewels. Two very old, oak chairs that I will refinish and put cane seats in. Very time consuming to do the weaving but well worth it. And, a beautiful oak buffet top – in need of refinishing and some minor repair. But it has 3 large beveled mirrors, barley twist pedestals and some exquisite carving. Guess I can add that to my list of things to do. Now all I need to do is plan a trip to Bryan-College Station to get all the goodies I will need to get things finished.   Once I get all the stuff together,  I’ll take you step-by-step through refinishing an antique piece.
