Thanks Tom, Perhaps this is the case. But down here there is a "workshop" which uses the mentally retarded/ill to refinish furniture, and has them stripping amnd finishing old pieces INDOORS with methylene chloride and traditional lacquer and NO masks! I guess the sentiment is:"They're retards anyway, so who cares?" I this is an egregious abuse of human beings and NO I will NOT lighten up an this one!!! Too many of my acquintances have died of brain cancer rom refinishing, so that is an highly unethical practice which benefits the workshop owners, while exploiting and poisoning the workers. I hope the folks "restoring" the Ruth piano are not in this category, but whom are they kidding? There will be NOTHING left of this piano except mushy, indistinguishable blocks of rotten, muddy wood and a rusty, probably unusable plate. So, where is the $200,000 going, and who is providing it? I am rightfully suspiciuous, methinks.
