Jon, thank you so much for all the information on my Hales Crescent. It is so much fun being a member of this shop, because of all the education and help we receive! I am documenting everything you have sent me about the Hales Crescent and the Hales Good Goods store! Now everyone on here will know what they are getting if they find a Hales Crescent. I REALLY want my DH to get the cabinet done now, but he has to actually replace some split boards and veneer on the flip top and top itself. The rest of the cabinet is in pretty good shape, it is just the top that is really bad. It never got wet - was kept indoors - but, looks like someone dropped it, or dropped something on it!
