| This antique table belongs to my daughter-in-law Molly. It used to belong to her Great Grandmother. It was in need of repairs when she brought it to me, the veneer top was coming off and had been patched long ago and all the leg joints were loose. I took it all apart, added new four way book matched Walnut Burl Veneer to the top and glued all the joints. The finish for the bottom portion is Shellac, like the original and the new veneer top was sprayed with three coats of lacquer. Molly is very happy with the results!
