Isn't it beautiful!!! I'm still grinning....so lucky!

I used Howard's Restore Finish, then the Feed & Wax. I do need to say, that isn't easy. The Restore took ALOT of elbow grease, was not easy.

I have another treadle to do yet, so dark you can't see the Tiger pattern. Can't imagine the work that's going to be required to lighten it back up.

Just doing this one, took 8.5 hrs

I am impressed that you got it done in 8.5 hours. I never finish a restoring project because it takes so long.

I have one just like this one that has a very nice red eye in it. I can't seem to get it shineing like yours it has many layers of gunk. I didn't want to strip it but it is looking like I may have to :(
You did an outstanding job! I wish I could find the howards here but have had no luck.

Do you have a Kroger out there? Kroger now owns a chain here that carries everything, sorta like Walmart but higher end.

I'm thinking I'll have to strip the other one but worried about the laminate lifting.
