Note Holloway Holdfast in action.Tom11 Assembly.jpgAssembly185 viewsFitting the old drawers to new legs. The piece leaning in foreground is the rear skirt, showing the tenon.Tom11 NotFinished.jpgUnfinished261 viewsThis shows the condition of the original parts, plus the newly constructed legs stained with Minwax "English Chestnut," which I've found is pretty close to the A&C finish I'm looking for.Tom11 Finished.jpgFinished206 viewsThe finish was 2 apps of Watco Natural, followed by 2 coats of Minwax Tung Oil Finish, then hit with 000 steel wool and paste wax.
