Hi all!

So I finished the restoration and am looking for opinions on the outcome including if anyone has an idea of value in this finished condition. Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

You did a very nice job on the refinish !!  Here in my area it would sell for about $200. !!  Possibly a little more in a metro area !!

Ty very much hope it's work more around Chicago area I put Aton of work in to this.i may have wasted my time,I hope not not a lot in materials 60$ maybee but lot of time.but time is free right ,I try to think that way it's the experience of creating something beautiful.spray poly was easy but I liked the Danish oil I used in the past but took a lot of time watching it dry.i have a gear table with hidden leaf I found I stripped no sanding,I will put up pics working on it next few days going to go with watco maybe deft Danish oil I liked it much better.thanks all for your input.
