I knew when I got this piece that I didnt want to paint it. The finish was in rough & sad shape but the piece is solid & very well made.
So I picked up some Howard's Restor-A-Finish in neutral. I used steel wool to apply it and rub into the white/cloudy spots and scratches. I then buffed it out with a lint free cloth.
She's been brought back to life and the new owner is thrilled with it!

This 1920's piece is very well made. The craftsmanship is superb!
Howard's Restor-A-Finish in neutral took all the cloudiness and removed it.

The wood details are to die for.
Gorgeous Inlay!

Looks brand new!
Here she is in all her original glory! Not everything needs paint!
You can get Howard's Restore-A-Finish at your local Home Depot or Lowes.
