He is one of my current restoration projects - a 6 leg rosewood occasional table. I bought it for a tenner at a village antique barn. Top was split into 4 and heavily chipped. It was also held together - bit of an exaggeration - with about 8 blacksmith patches. Got it to pieces OK and then repaired up the sections. I will sand off the top I think, too bad to preserve patina. Then french polish whole table. Might be a bit of a challenge to stick all 22 pieces back together again. Bit of careful planning required there me thinks.
Would like to retain the metal patches as they are part of the tables history.
