Sympathetically cleaned and repolished using traditional methods to highlight the grain and give a deep honey oak colour to the top, medullary rays from the quarter-sawn cut of the oak produce the attractive ‘tiger grain’ pattern. It comes with it’s winder handle, the runners are stamped ‘J Morrison / 800’ whilst the leaf edges are also stamped ‘800’ and numbered.
