| 2009-11-13 | Ken | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank You Eileen, You are SPOT ON. That warped leg has a large knot right where the leg starts to bend inward and warp!

Eileen Cronk
Expertise
Hi..I can answer most questions about the repairing,stripping and refinishing of all your old furniture and wood items(the things we call antiques)I can give advice about what to buy/avoid at auctions/flea markets. I do not give appraisals on antiques.
Experience
I have been refinishing antiques for the past 30yrs. While I have taken several courses over the years,I have found that "hands on" learning is the best teacher. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made while learning.
