[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 125692, member: 1136"]I have a washstand I need to move forward with. The base is pretty banged up so I'm going to paint it (i said it), but Id like to stain the top if possible. It has a huge Crack or some kind of makers flaw in it. Someone has tried filling it in before, but I've removed most of it because it was a botch job. I'm just afraid if I forgo filling so I can stain it customers will see it as a defective flaw, even though there is no flex or give to the top, which would be if it was cracked, right? Looking at it it just looks like on one side they didn't cut the tongue and groove right so it just sit separate giving it that tapered "crack". I don't know, what would y'all do? Also, does this date to around 1880s?[ATTACH=full]32040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]32041[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
