No scrolling needed. I just refinished the top and sanded and re-varnished the base after taking it all apart and making necessary repairs.

Sure doesn't look 80 years old!

Thank you all for the nice comments!

Good work GB!  That should become a family heirloom.

Very well done GB! It's a beauty!

I have a teak wood coffee table to strip and refinish and a mahogany table with many coats of enamel to do also. I hope to come close to what you have done.
