  My neighbour had a yard sale today and I saw this cabinet sitting in her driveway, yesterday. I went over to help move some heavy stuff and asked her how much she wanted for it? She said for me, free.
When I first saw it I thought it was in pretty rough shape and I would paint it. Now that I look at it, it is not too bad. Is it possible to restain or would I have to sand off the varnish? The veneer is not in the best shape. Any suggestions or photos would be appreciated.

 Congratulations on a beautiful cabinet! If it were mine I would not paint it...it's too pretty. If fact, I would just clean it up and leave it as is. I've dabbled a little in wood refinishing but I'm just a novice. I would advise you to speak to someone in your area who refinishes wood or even someone very knowledgable at a paint store. Not trying to advertise, but anytime I have a question about paint or surface refinishing I find the folks at my local Sherwin-Williams paint store to be very knowledgeable and helpful. Good luck on whatever you do and please post "after" pics. Jim | ||

 Before you do anything rash and make a mistake... get yourself some Olde English or similar brand of wood cleaner,, and then get a bottle of Olde English Scratch Cover and rub it all over.. it will make the wood look heaps better if not near new again.

If you want a square bottle, just get yourself some Jack Daniels. | ||

Clean the wood and if you sand it, make sure you go with the grain of the wood. It is much too pretty to paint it. Gary | ||
