<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 9579858, member: 602"]and have a couple of questions about it and what I think may be happening to it and what to do about it!! Bought in on Cape Cod back then....$175.00 for the hat and $32.00 for the stand. The artist is a <u>JoHannes Michelsen</u>, he has a couple of YouTube videos up.......(he also does or did...don't know which...but makes People size WOOD HATS!!!) But that's not my issue.....my Top Hat is made from <u>Black Cherry Burl</u>....I don't handle it much and it's never been in the sun....kept in a darkish corner cupboard. I just love it and the work in it!!! If you look at the pictures, "I think" it may be showing signs of "drying out"???? What's turned very light around some of the edges shows well in photos. Not having anything quite like it before, I'm not sure if that's normal or WHAT to DO about it!!! So, any help with suggestions from woodworkers on here would be most helpful to me....is there something I can treat it with??? "<u>Skidmores Restoration Creme</u>" or <u>Bee's Wax for Antiques</u>??? My other question is, there is one SOLD on WORTHPOINT, which I don't have an account with....if a generous member would look and let me know I'd be most grateful!!! The measurements are:</p><p>4" Tall, 5 3/4" Front rim to Back Rim, and 4 3/4" width.
