Stain!I carefully stained the piece. I used a grain defining stain. Because of the variation of types of wood it gave a variation in color I was happy with. I did all the same steps with the topper that holds the mirror.Found this stamped on the mirrors!The stamp says “Galax Va.”, can’t read the middle, and 1942. Which I’m assuming dates the piece to 1942.I used 4 coats of premium satin finish polyurethane. And used a little Brasso to clean the handles.
Finished!I’m so delighted with the outcome! Over 100 hours of blood, sweat, and tears.
