<p>[QUOTE="Kim C, post: 3132011, member: 17636"]Wow! Everyone has been so helpful, I really appreciate all of the information. This piece is from Coye Furniture, Wisconsin. Although not as special as most of the pieces I've collected, I looked so long for one of these that I felt like it was providence when it popped up in my search feed. As far as refinishing these pieces goes, I strip lightly with an orange stripper. Usually two or three coats. Because some of these pieces have painted on marbling, I try to be really careful. I haven't run into one of the painted on pieces yet, but still....If the previous owner stained it (as this one was) I try to get as much of the stain out that I can. Then I finish with 2-3 coats of Tung Oil. This one ended up a bit redder than I prefer, but that is the result of the awful staining job that the previous owner attempted on it. Thank you all for the answers and the encouragement![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
