It goes with the sanded and varnished wood, Bubba at work is my guess.

I'm guessing but the parts could have have been painted with Suncorite and Bubba used a strong paint stripper or Drano and a wire wheel on them.

Retreating, bluing and painting would be good answers to get from Brian Dickicon or Mr. Laidlericon.

Good luck and let us see your handy work when you are done.......Hoser
