New Project!!!

This is the pie safe I bought at an auction today...

It's a little rougher than the photo shows, but I think it will be fabulous when it's restored.  It's painted right now, but I think it's maple underneath.  Right now it's in my Dad's workshop at my parents house because my hubs has our garage filled with his woodworking stuff, so there's not room for it, and he doesn't have time to work on it.  My dad will...after Mom's new bathroom vanity is done.  It needs some slight repair work, and the paint has to go.  It might have to be repainted if the wood can't be refinished, but it won't be a creamy orange color if it does.  Plus, the tin insets in the doors are awesome and need the paint cleaned off.  Plus it's a great practice piece for refinishing my dining room table!
