We wondered about a light sanding with super fine sand paper, but what would you recommend we use for finish?
Joe and I are going to be doing a tutorial on that pretty soon. I have a ton of machines to do - he says he is coming over to Indianapolis from Illinois and we are going to document what we do. Rain has information on his blog - good information. You can also join his blog as a follower and he will send email when he posts - I love his work.
http://vssmb.blogspot.com/ dig around - he has done a LOT!!! He visits QB once in a while - I wish he would come to the vintage sewing machine shop and chatter with the crazy people there.... I mean the really nice people who also work on sewing machines. Myself included.
