This was the piece that started it all, my interest in refinishing furniture. And, let's be honest, the rabbit hole of tools, supplies, hardware, paint, top coats, sanding discs... and everything else you find out you need for this hobby. This Ethan Allen hutch is solid pine wood (and soft wood came with its own issues when refinishing). It is a 1980's piece based on the information stamped and written on the backboard. I inherited this hutch from my late grandmother, Edith.
