Speaking of timber restos, I found my old bit of timber for the 124 that
used to be between the front seats, I got a better one a few years back
but it's starting to get a bit sad now too, so I am thinking about
having a go restoring my old zebrano one (looked at getting a Euro
burlwood set but they want big money for anything decent).
Does anyone have any info/links to sites that have good info? I know I
can send it off and get a pro to do the work but my guess is that won't
be cheap.
As you may know the finish on these is pretty thick but right now the
first step is to get that thick layer of varnish off the wood.

I picked up a stunning Danish mid century rosewood coffee table for a good
price but the top is marred in places with a cloudy discoloration, probably
a result of setting down wet objects on the surface (which has a dark
varnished finish). Murphy's oil soap and cleaner didn't do anything for
these spots, but a friend recommended I try vaseline with a vinegar
chaser. Surprisingly, this did some good, but there are still cloudy areas
(also some scratches, but those are near the corner and not
objectionable).
On the under side of the table (unfinished) the PO's kids had a field
day(s) writing with crayons and/or colored ball point pen ink. How do I
remove these?
IIRC someone on this list is experienced in furniture restoration (Rich?).
Advice always appreciated.
TIA,
