This old flour sifting cabinet came to me without alot of hope. It had a ton of rot and the original tambour door was missing. However the customer insisted it be restored no matter the cost. And the worst part was that she wanted the paint removed to showcase the original poplar that lay beneath. 3 weeks later this is what i came out with

My mom has one that my grandfather restored this exact same way. Strangely enough it has become a true family heirloom. Great job!

Ronnie, this is a nice restoration on the Hoosier cabinet. Having “before” pictures posted along with a restoration is a nice touch. You did a good job on the poplar as well. Poplar can be a challenge to finish but it looks like you handled it just fine.
Thanks for the post.

A real good looking restoration. You did a fabulous job. Didn’t look like you had much to start with but it turned out great.
