I hope you didn't just remove $2,000.00 worth of patina!
Just kidding it looks good. I wouldn't paint it either.

Finished the drawer pulls and drawer knobs, I have to find a pull, one was missing. I'm sure that will be easy.
Thanks again, for looking.

Is one of the pulls in the "before" picture of a different design. It does look a slight different but most people wouldn't notice.

That would be a "my bad" I misplaced it, if you could see my shop you would understand. Time for a little spring cleaning.

Thanks again for the kind comments, it's always nice when a little effort turns out better than expected, and others appreciate it, too.

Very, very nice work. Sometimes you have to imagine the end result but it certainly looks like your efforts paid off. Its nice to see an old piece back in action.
