I do prefer the tighter grain on the maple cabinet over the oak. I've only used sewing machine oil on the cabinet so far although I have purchased products to improve its appearance. I haven't decided if I want to mess with it or not. I tend to prefer to leave things in their original condition and I sort of enjoy the battle scars of a well loved and used machine. The pictures aren't the best since the sun in streaming in right now. It is a nice treadling machine and I mostly use it to perforate freezer paper for paper piecing since it provides such great control.

Judy beautiful machine and I think along the same lines when it comes to leaving my new treasures in the state I find them in unless its something that only going to get worst over time. I have two that one the veneer is missing in the front & a treadle where the top layer is buckled...come this spring when its nicer out I will have to decide if I want to tackle these projects. Thanks so much for sharing your treasure.
