Grant, what a wonderful difference. That's a lucky machine that will go back in the cabinet. The coloring matches perfectly. What beautiful wood graining. You can see it now, before the scratches took away from it.

Thank you for the kind words. It looks even better in person. Now I want to redo all of my machine cabinets.

That top is beautiful. The ones I have done, I just put a light layer of stain on them, and then just use either a linseed oil or tung oil finish on them, then wax them with paste wax. I leave some of the stains and nicks in to keep its original personality. Several years ago I refinished my mother's old Singer cabinet with a neat inlaid design on the door on the front. I left most of the cigarette burns in it, because it wouldn't have been my mother's without them. Every piece of furniture she owned had cigarette burns in it. Now, when I look at those burns and the cabinet I remember all the fun she and I had sewing together.
