That has to be the most beautiful, gorgeous sewing machine I have ever seen. When I saw your first post I KNEW that OCD Steve would not wait to begin the restore process. Congrats on having a DD helper with the same condition.

Wow...that is easily the prettiest machine I have ever seen. That is some intense work. I had no idea they made machines that pretty! I'm so glad you have it and are restoring it to its original glory!

I'm not one of your folks that go head deep into refinishing stuff but I can appreciate a beautiful machine as this one. It seems back then craftsmen took pride in their work as this machine shows. Such detail with all that what looks like mother of pearl inlay. All I can say is WOW!!!!!. Also Steve great work putting the cabinet back into its near original finish. That takes dedication.
