Restoring a family heirloom. The wood was actually rather pretty once all the cracks, and imperfections were repaired. The Rubio coat will keep it looking great for another 70 years! My mother sat on this stool with my grandmother in her Uncles bar. The Village Inn, Poy Sippi WI. That was in the 1950’s. It will now reside in my shop where it will continue to get utilized.
