This cute little jewel has curves in all the right places. She's been in the customer's family, so despite her collection of blemishes and "wrinkles" she owns a respected place in the dining-living area of their home. As you may b
e able to see, she originally radiated Red Mahogany from underneath a factory lacquered finish. Even as I was transporting her to the shop she brimmed with excitement and enthusiasm--obviously anticipating her timely face-lift.
Here are some close-ups of her distinguishing characteristics, but take a good look because in less than ten days you won't recognize her. Here's an accurate pic of the way her top surface looks now (right), and (above, left) her pedestal base and upper leg structure (Yes, I know that's embarrassing--She's really shy!). She has a broken leg too (left, be
low...Wow, that looks painful), and somewhere along the path of her "world travels" she lost one foot and a "slipper"...(I told her an alligator story won't work here)....and yes, that's a close-up (below) of one of her brass "slippers." These are genuine antiques, so the replacement will be a reproduction--but an excellent one. Nobody will ever know the difference--(and, shush...nor will she).
That's Wood Talking for today. Check back; we're gonna have so much fun!
