Writing Box - where do I start?
This was my Son-in Law's Fathers - he would like it restored. There are a couple of issues - first the timber itself and the badly stained top - how do I tackle that? ( the round circle is where a round object had been sitting). The other issue is the brass inlay - one of the short pieces on the lid is missing and will need to find a replacement while the other has come off but is in hand and one of the long lid pieces is lifting. Anyone know what the black fill in the inlay would be. In the piece that has come off it is very brittle and crumbles readily but where it has been left on the timber it adheres quite strongly. I will need some long strips of straight brass inlay that run parallel to the patterned inlay- anywhere in Brisbane to get that? I guess as other issues arise as I get into it I'll be back with more questions.

Didn't have any fine steel wool so had a go at cleaning with Meths and a rag ( and a bit of acetone on the paint rings) and pot scourer. So far so good
