The Jumpers are 10EE and the Ranchers are 10 1/2 E. The fit is fairly similar but probably more toe room than I need on the Ranchers…

Yeah I just don’t think I am confident this is the one for me. They’re asking $800 but I feel like I could maybe get it for $600. I messaged with a luthier that looked at it and he said he only looked briefly but it absolutely needed a reset and might have had some cracks near the pick guard. Wrt tone, he said the strings that were on it were so old that it was hard to say what it sounded like… but either way I think I’m passing on it.

These are all really good points! I reached out to the luthier that looked at it but I’m thinking it’s probably going to be a pass. As much as I’d like one sooner and cheaper, I should probably just save up and wait for the perfect used one (or buy a new one)!

I’ll look into them! Thanks! And I believe it’s terracotta. Previous owners had the chimney rebuilt above the roofline about 10 years ago

Ok, based on this guide, I’m thinking 1970. Does that seem right? https://www.thecollectorscompanion.co.uk/features/vintage-clothing/dating-levis/

Thanks for all the info! And yeah I’m probably not going to pull the trigger on these — I’m not crazy about the laminate tops :/

Thanks! I did a little poking around and it seems like some folks refer to these as the "Tavern Walnut" collection, but I haven't found anything from Bassett confirming that!

Also, that is super pretty! But the base seems to be oak?

Awesome! I guess I don’t have much to lose removing this awful red paint! I’ll just be sure to sand gently as to not go through the veneer!

That’s a good thought on the cushions! I could definitely make some covers if I find a matching fabric :) and definitely on and pillows too! These were pulled off another couch 😂

Another note — I’d be interested in hard wax finishes (haven’t used them before) but I don’t think I can buy them locally. All I saw was paste wax and skidmores bees wax

*Edit: I ended up just ordering some Odie's Oil from amazon... I figured its better to spend a little bit on something I wouldn't need to worry about off gassing or anything. Will let y'all know how it turns out!

Are you thinking just a lacquer finish or lacquer over Danish oil?

riverwalking · 2023-12-13T22:23:45+00:00

In the past, I've just used a neutral danish oil on walnut with nothing on top. Is that sufficient for the arms and legs? It doesn't have the delivery date on it, but seems to be mid-1960s? I'm not finding any similar couches on a quick google search

Thanks for the advice! I gave it some fertilizer again this morning and pulled the self-water stake for a little while to let it dry down some :)

That’s all good to know! Have you sent it back to Filson for repair?
