Singer Restoration Saturday - Bentwood Case
I have been working on restoring the bentwood case for "Dollie", my great-grandmother's Singer Model 99K. Now I am applying a satin polyurethane clearcoat to protect the stain applied earlier.
Bentwood Case - Top and Bottom
The clearcoat went on nice and shiny, then the gloss relaxed into a nice satin finish. In about an hour, I can gently sand it smooth and apply another coat. Larry
It's looking fantastic Susan! My 99K hand crank does not have the cover for the tool box end so I'm making a giant pin cushion to fit in there! I have put the domed cover away (gave it a coating of furniture oil) and I'm thinking of making a soft drop cover similar to the wooden one by using some rigilene boning to shape the dome.

Helen, that sounds great! What a perfect idea for the tool box end! I look forward to seeing the results of your creativity!
