<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9524963, member: 37"]Thanks for the additional pics. Your's is not quite as old as the OP's but close. Would think 1870s or so. Definitely pine all the way. We generally do not sand antique furniture unless absolutely necessary. You will never get the patina of old wood back. On the bright side, this is not a priceless antique and, if keeping it for yourself, sanding is not a mortal crime. The variations you see are natural. The black marks may be mineral deposits or could be from mold. The last mark is a sap vein. Very common in pine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
