Rant: My neighbor said my stain looked 'too perfect' on a 200-year-old pine dresser.

He asked if I ever thought about leaving a little more of the old character visible under the finish. I'm rethinking my whole 'make it look new' goal for antiques now, anyone else lean into the wear more?

What kind of wear do you like to keep?

My grandpa's old leather jacket has been in my closet for ten years, miles_grant35. It's beat up but the stories it holds make it impossible to get rid of. Some things just earn their keep.
