From the album: Yugoslavian Clock Jewelry Case
The case finished. Before I built in the components I simply used #0000 steel wool on the entire piece, then rub it out with a mix of 1 part BLO, 1 part varnish, and 1 part mineral spirits. The natural patina was restored beautifully with just that process alone, I then waxed the case.
I then proceeded to install the components I made for the inside of the case.
