Note differences in color, top vs leafs! |
Of course we often learn some fun things in the refinishing process. In this case the bases (below) are stamped "MAH" atop their pedestal bases, suggesting the table may originally have been issued with a Red Mahogany stain. You can see from the picture (right) that the three stripped leafs seem to contrast the table's top--a competition between cherry and red mahogany? God knows.

The pedestals stood in line, the last to be cleaned up....so they are last but not less important. Here, (below) you see them with clamps variously placed. Those will soon be removed and the staining process will be completed before sealing and finishing begins for all the pieces. That event is just around the corner...it'll probably be all done by the end of the week.
Yup, the table is anticipating....going home soon...An-Tic-I-Pate-Ing. Its a fun word and one I hear thematically in this shop.
The table's two Pfyfe pedestals await stain |
