Hi there,
I’m doing some work on my recently purchased Brunswick Anniversary.
The blinds are in need of some work, but certainly salvageable. I started to think about a set of new hardwood blinds, maybe sapele or walnut. I’ve talked with a local mill that I’ve done business with in the past. I’d like to gauge if there is enough interest here on the forum from other Anniversary owners or restorers to do a small run. The factory blinds are done in poplar and stained dark walnut. The profile could be run in several species… walnut, cherry, mahogany, or sapele; for example. Good clear quality stock, cut with new knives. These would be delivered unfinished and over-sized, all types would require a light sanding and would need to be cut to length. The poplar would need to be stained, while the other species would be beautiful with an oil and wax finish or polyurethane.
Approximate cost for a complete set of blinds for a table>>
poplar $200 sapele $325 walnut $475 Plus shipping from Boston, MA.
Because of the size, shipping cost would most likely be at least $100 via UPS.
I’m interested to hear what you have to say, either here or via PM.
If there is some interest, I'll move this over to the Buy / Sell forum.
... thought this would be a better place to start.
Thanks,
Dave
