Thanks to member input I was able to revive this sad and neglected little Medico bent billiard from an estate lot I picked up this summer. To my surprise, she's a great smoker and has made it into my regular rotation. Perfect for knocking around the back yard with the latest addition to our family... a mini English Bulldog pup :D

just a couple of fills!

Mixed a couple of colours to come up with a chestnut stain that shows a little grain without calling attention to the 765 fills on this little honey

Thanks again for the advice guys, much appreciated. This forum rocks!
(hopefully corrected photo sizing issue in edit)

Great job on the restore, just one piece of constructive criticism try to shrink you picture a little I had to zoom out of my screen to see the whole thing, but other than that you did a great job.

Yes you did, Thanks for fixing that it's much easier to see and I hope she smokes well for you. Also your new puppy is adorable.

My blood sugar shot up 400 points just looking at that last pic. So much sweetness in that girl and pup.
Oh and here's a "Pro" tip. Throw away the rags that have any stain on them. Do not toss them in the laundry or your wife (or whoever does the laundry) will wash them with the bathroom throw rugs and dye EVERYTHING in the washing machine inadvertently.
Yeah...

:rofl: totally something I would do! Also discovered that using latex gloves makes cleaning up after using the Fiebings leather dye a lot easier. After this project my fingers looked like I was a lifelong chain smoker of Pall Mall deadends!!!!
