Sorry for the double post I just go excited for the wonderful job your husband did on the cabinet. What did he use for the top coat, shellac? Glenn

His original cabinet!!!!!!!!!!!Yippppeeeeeeeee!

Can you tell me where to get this? thanks Thank you all for the compliments on Willy's restored cabinet. My DH has been in the garage around the clock for the last three weeks. He really got into this as he thinks little Willy is really cute. I am just blown away at how nice the cabinet looks now. When I started the stripping of all those layers of black paint then white primer, I wondered if it would ever look good again! Just goes to show you what determination can accomplish. I love that cabinet now! Glenn we did your tutorial, except the stain is red oak. Nancy |
