• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Daughter has given me this lovely drawer, writting desk, not sure off the proper name for it. Previous owner brought it from Switzerland in the esrl 90's. This is what he told me. Needs a bit of work to bring it back to it's original glory. Would like some ideas as to how to clean the veneer work. Great project when I have free time.
 
That's a lovely piece Scott! I've never restored something like that and others will be far more knowledgeable about how to go about it. My guess is some sort of hide glue to re-stick the missing trim and perhaps a gentle wood reviver of some sort on the 300year old patina? Whatever you choose, go very slowly and carefully. Seek advice if in any doubt! - Rob
