Good evening,
I've been given a very large tool chest, Victorian, I believe.
The inside is finished in burr elm and is in reasonable condition for it's age.
One the outside, what appears to be the original surface has a couple of patches thats had something like paint stripper spilled on it thats really damaged the finish.
I'm trying to figure out what it, (the outside,) has been painted with, it looks and feels like dimpled dark tan leather with lots of tiny bubbles, 1-2mm dia each. It feels quite tactile and I would like to re-finish it in the same way, if I can.
Has anyone any idea what it might be?
Many thanks for any ideas,
Colin
