<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 1610980, member: 13605"]Check the nails holes.Are they Square ? I can't tell from the picture.Sometimes I take a very very mild ammonia and water and gentle clean the old finish. Be careful with the ammonia because it is a varnish stripper use it very diluted or murphy's soap. This will take off the grime with out destroying the old finish. Then you can go over it with Howard's beeswax or old english and buff it and it will hid the scratches and shine the finish. Do not paint it. Too good of a piece. Often called bachelors cupboards in our neck of the woods.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
