Amazing restoration. I would have thought this piece was fit for the fireplace before you started!

Maestro, me quito el sombrero. ¿Pertenecía a algún cliente o fué una pieza rescatada por ti? Si era de un cliente, debio preguntarse, ¿donde está el mueble que le entregué?

Yeah what they said, very nice work. I bet that is time consuming. you have to love what you do to take the time to do it right (I would guess).
