[ATTACH=CONFIG]410786[/ATTACH]The only person I knew of isn't on the Quilting Board any more. I hope someone has ideas for you, though, as it would be a nice accomplishment to get yours prettied back up & running. For a cabinet, you might keep you eye open for one on Craigslist. Sometimes there is a cabinet that needs refinishing.

Here's a pic of my cabinet with the coffin top on. I really stumbled on a great deal when I found this on CL. The seller was the now elderly granddaughter of the original owner. She even had the original sale receipt in one of the drawers. Her husband is a woodworker and he kept the cabinet oiled and cared for all the years his wife, the granddaughter, had owned it.
