That brings back memories of all the controversy about how to care for wood furniture; leather too! :-D

Linda, yes and woodworkers are still up in arms over this. It is funny at that. I had a lady bring me a table to restore. She tried to do it herself the problem was that a famous woodworker told he to strip the piece and then feed the wood linseed oil. She came to me saying that the wood would not take a stain nor would shellac stick to the wood. It took me three days to strip the oil so I could refinish the thing. Glenn

I do have another 15 which I'm considering using that screw for this 15 but still need the screw. If your offer is still good, I'd like that screw. Thanks so much for your offer. Picked up LindaR's attachments so will maybe fork over some feet to SIL because I have more coming.

Nanasmom: Is the Mother's chrome polish found at big box stores, like WM or Lowes or at an automotive supply store?
