OLD WOOD
- the photo is of the item I am listing; that said, due to changes in humidity and further handling there is a POSSIBILITY joins or even grain may 'pop' between now and when you get the item -- every effort is made to ensure safe transit, and should I notice any change from my own storage and handling from the time-of-listing to your purchase, I will let you know before I ship to ensure things are still agreeable
I perform minimal cleaning - to reduce damage and because many wish to do things their own way.
I have first used a vacuum brush attachment to remove thickest layer of dirt
I then use a damp (very lightly dampened) cloth to remove the finer layers of dust
Lastly, I use a cloth permeated with Murphy's Oil Soap to give items a bit of beauty and protection while in my care
I DO NOT get every nook & cranny - for the utmost cleaning effort, you will need to be armed with some cotton swabs and a bit of yarn (for flossing areas) and take care to not dislodge glue joints or fragile bits
My price reflects the work needed to catalog-list-store-retrieve-ship the item; if I spent too much time cleaning and restoring items, the price would increase significantly.
Shipping: rather than raise the prices to offer "free" shipping I allow you to choose your preferred method. I COMBINE - it is BEST to
ADD-TO-CART
and it should give you a proper discount. That said, the system is not infallible, so if you are buying a bunch of items and the shipping starts to look crazy-high, fear not, I will provide a refund appropriate to the actual costs involved in getting your valued items safely out the door.
