Cracks in 10-Year Old Lacquer
#3

I live in Southern CA and during the winter we keep the house at 68. Where I'm at it can be over 100 in the summer. Inside the house it does not get above 90. Once it is over a 100 outside we turn the AC on. Very dry environment though.

I'm almost positive it was fully stripped. Here it is before refinishing:

Here it was right after finishing about 10 years ago.

This is the 71B that Ron has on his site:

Kind of a bummer with the cracks. It's also received a few chips now and then. I'll post some photos of those later but I'm not sure what can really be done about them.

Thanks,
Geoff
