Rennie this is old walnut. Working on keeping an old world finish look.

Ok, I for got to get the finished pickers of this tall clock before it went off to Ryan to have the works complete.
But here are picks from another clock which came in right after it. This has a French polish then wax finished. Very similar clock.

You know those folks back in the day sure did beautiful work without a single power tool..

It must be rewarding to bring an old treasure such as this back to its full glory Dave. Excellent work.

Larry might be the ambassador, but you my friend are the wizard!! I will never forget watching you work on that scratch at Larry's gathering and before my eyes it (the scratch) disappeared!! I greatly enjoy seeing your work.
