Yello-Bole Imperial Resto

[tuold]

I've been working on this one for the past three days and I'm please how it came out. The one major issue was a coating of lacquer that had cracked with age. I removed it by scrubbing with acetone soaked cotton pads, a light sanding, then swabbing with alcohol. After buffing with white diamond compound I restained, buffed and waxed.
The inside required only minimal cleaning. There is still some yellow showing in the ol' Yello-Bole bowl
I'll probably take it for a test smoke tomorrow night.

That's my second one. I liked the first so much I didn't hesitate to bid on this one. Here's the first -->Old Yeller
Also did a quickie on this Kaywoodie Flame Grain. Not as happy with this one. I have to do some more sanding to get rid of pits and scratches.
