    You are the master of color, staining, finishing. anyone who’s ever tried to match or do stain on raw wood like that knows how incredibly hard it is to get it to look even like you do,and you do it every time.

    This is a great illustration of the decisions that have to be made in furniture restoration. Your instincts are spot on: this is a functioning piece of furniture, not a piece of art. It was built as a functioning piece of furniture and should be restored to be one. That is the best way to honor the original maker.

    Of course Trena did an outstanding job on this piece (as usual,) but I would have liked to have seen some dents and mars on the too-new top. One way to achieve this is to take the new wood, scatter some fine gravel on it, stack it in several layers, and drive a car over it! It's easy and quick and gives a truly random pattern of dents.

      I 👍 your comment but disagree. She did an “honest repair” which is now part of the historical story of the table. The fact that the new wood is not distressed is part of that story and in no way diminishes its beauty. It keeps it honest which is beautiful in itself.
