FREE quarter sawn Oak bookcase/secretary unit. Victorian.

I found this in the trash and could not let it go.  It needs some work, not much.  someone like myself could have it in really good shape in two hours.  Maybe some glue blocks to stabilze it.  a light (not heavy) sanding to freshen the finish.  and some sort of oil.  Some clown put some machine screws through the fold down desk piece, so they would have to go or be replace with something attractive.  this could be really nice, real easy.  I do not have the room for it or we would keep it.  To give you a better description:  it has a bookcase about 5′ high by 2′ wide on the left and a secretery about 4 feet high and 2′ wide on the right.  drawer and door under the secretary unit.  door on the front of the book case (the door is in pieces and missing the glass but can be fixed).  really nice, reddish oak color.  one of those wavy, decorative tops above the entire unit with a mirror over the secretary. I hope someone will take this.  I can deliver.  I can try to get some pics later to post.  I suppose I can do the repairs on this if someone wanted, but I would charge (I am not trying to solicit work here; I want this gone as it is in front of the washer/dryer and consequently making someone unhappy) I will try to get pics. If nobody takes this, I might cut the wood up and make shelves out of it; the wood is that nice. Contact is on my website. Steve www.thetinkerswagon.com

Ok, at this point about 10 people have responded.  So as not to waste our time, I will take a pic tomorrow and get it off to everyone giving the first respondent the first right of refusal.   If anyone else wants to take a shot, feel free to email but I really think this is done. Steve
