Hello There
I have attached two pictures of my restoration work, wonder what do you think about my skill. All comments welcome.
P.S
More samples of my work you can find in my profile, thanks.

Very pretty little table.
I like the way you managed to retain the patination on the top and around the knobs and escutcheon.
Was there much case work to do?
Drawer runner replacement and leg joint re-gluing?
Did you have to turn new leg braces or did you have the originals to work with?

Thank you for your opinion Thumbthumper, I like this table a lot. It was it like an abandoned dog among other furniture in the workshop so I decided to restore.There was lots of work, have replaced drawer runners,made leg braces .I did not turn the leg braces, I made them by hand with spokeshave to give them the old look. Table top was loose with big crack so I had to fix it as well. See more pictures please.
Cheers
Chris
