After several weeks of being absent from the board I am back after many hours of work on the Pathfinder by Davis treadle cabinet. It took a gallon of stripper. The thing was revarnished with a mahogony shellac stain that was almost black. Must have been done 50 years ago with the crazing and the dirt. For some reason they did not refinish the inside of table and machine bed. It was a very nice fummed oak. I mixed aniline dye water base stains to match the old finish and top coated with button shellac. The match was very good. Let me know what you think. Glenn
