Ethan Allen cherry table

The maker's mark shows Ethan & Allen, Plant No. 18, 11-8165

When I got this the top of it was in bad shape.  The folks left drinks on it that caused rings.  I felt I needed to fix it to make it worth something again.  So I sanded the top down to bare wood and sanded for hours and hours until it was smooth as a baby's bottom.  I used a natural stain and then applied two coats of polyurethane with lite sanding in between coats with steel wool.  I also had to add new knobs as the originals were broken and/or missing.  I think it turned out great.  I didn't touch anything else.  

Good
