Antique Rotating Bookcase

This was found a few years ago through an ad in the paper. It needed a little TLC as the joints were failing and the wood had split apart on the top shelf. Some of the old wood plugs were missing too. It still worked well and holds a great many books.
The turning mechanism is actually five round balls in the base.


This is the refinished piece. I was careful to clean the surface without removing any of the original patina.
