Mahogany and Glass serving Tray (ca.1930)
I received a Mahogany serving tray recently in need of refinishing. In addition, the tray needed to have the glass replaced. The customer and I decided to replace the glass with 1/4" glass over the 1/8" glass that was in it to provide a sturdy surface for carrying things. Below are some photos of the initial work of removing the broken glass, Hardware, and finish. There are also some photos of the repairs to the frame.
