Very special! thats 18th century antique french furniture! Worth good money! Try learning how to bleach furniture and use a white wax. Citrastrip was reformulated recently and lost its effectiveness! On old shellac try useing plain rubbing alcohol!

A few moons ago I bought an antique from a dealer with “Holes”. Let me forewarn you that powder post beetles (which is what’s in the wood) can get into your other furniture and into the framing of your house.The best way to really get rid of those nasties is to have it fumed. 🙂

Beautiful piece! The result will be worth the effort! WHat do you use to treat the beetles/wood worms?
Thank you. Danielle

I am literally working on a project like this right now! (sans beetles) I started trying to sand it in an inconspicuous spot, and found that very uneven. so I got citrustrip and i’m going to slap it on tomorrow. i was hoping for a natural wood finish like so many of your pieces, but had lost hope. I’m anxiously awaiting the result with the wax!!!

Lucky you courtney. what a gorgeous piece. have to wonder where you will put it in the house. The house looks so great already, but you will probably find just the right spot.
i agree with you and the n0-color wood. i did have a table and mirror that was stripped clean and i didn’t want to change the color so i used mayonnaise and buffed and buffed and it turned out great.
thanks for wharing

Voltaren gel now over the counter has been a life saver for my sore aching limbs. Topical relief so you don’t get stomach upset.
The pieces are looking so good. I really like the lighter more textural look of them.
Great job girl!!
