Sanded it all down to bare wood, smoothed it with 2000 grit till it was like glass, and stained it with a mahogany. 400 then 2000 grit on the brass hinges and fixtures, brasso, and a good cleaning. Oh and 5 hours of a piano tuner tuning it back up. It was made in 1905 so I guess I'll forgive the old girl for being a little outa tune. Not a bad job for a week. She literally cried when she saw it (in a good way) , so I guess its good. Now I have to re-clean the engine on the truck cause I have sawdust all over. sigh....the things I do for the wife.

Man,I hope my wife dont read this
