Herzog Cylinder Cabinet Restoration - Initial Pics

Post by Curt A »

If you saw my previous post regarding shelves for this cabinet, you saw pics of what it looked like when I got it.

Let the destruction begin: today I felt recovered enough from my fall to begin the restoration. After examining the cabinet closely, I decided it needed a "frame off" restoration. So, I started the deconstruction phase... and it is currently in pieces (see pics). I will try to take pics of the reconstruction and restoration phases as I progress. This is it so far...
