First picture is as she was found, then glueing her back together, before lots and lots of cleaning with denatured alcohol and finally sanded and ready for staining(when my ordered stain arrives).

This already looks like a success story!! You guys amaze me!! My mom was the woodworker of the family, and didn't pass any of it on to me. I don't believe I would even begin to tackle something like this, but so glad you did!!
