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.
Grant, I saw that on FB and was drooling there! Very pretty!

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.

Thanks miriam!
So maybe I didn't do badly by purchasing it? I pick it up Sunday.
