I went to Pick Your Part this morning "just because." I found a Legend that was really torn apart, but it surprisingly had relatively uncracked burl wood. I paid $7 for it (sans ash tray, cigarette lighter, and felt tray) and out the door I went.
Here are some befores of how gross this thing was. Every time I removed dirt from it, it wreaked of junk yard. My good camera is dead and this camera hates taking indoor pictures, so some are blurry:
This small crack ended up being one of the biggest blemishes:
At this point, I was honestly debating whether or not it was savable based on its condition. I thought it was just horribly dirty (which it was. I didn't even bother taking the felt piece because I knew it was a lost cause with the amount of dirt/oil/whatever in it.), but it turns out it was also extremely faded and scratched.
Afters.
Not too bad for 19 year old wood, give or take a year.
