I actually talked to them on the phone. This was more than a year ago, though. The gentleman I spoke with said they were still family owned. Then number i have is 800 535 0733. The email they gave me is fillipcmf@aol.com they said they sell directly to the consumer and no middle man. I would have ordered right then and there, but the opening on the sink base would not fit my new (old) sink and they dont make any other sizes.

Thanks everyone for the feedback on this project. Sorry I’ve been slow with some replies, but I was on work-related travel this week and I’m just noww starting to catch up.

Sorry I can’t answer that, but I’ll bet if you take a cabinet door or drawer to a furniture refinished they could probably help you figure it out. I guessed that ours were shellacked, and tried the shellack one one door as a test before I did the rest. I figured if the shellac didn’t work out I could try a stain next.
