Rec'd the Rochester sequoia capture yesterday. I will need to change out some hardware (hinges, latches). Wheels are mismatched. Wood is in great shape. Lid is fantastic! Bowl has minor blemishes, but can be cleaned. I will be tapping some of you other sequoia owners for advice/pointers as I go thru this gem.

Looks great! Should be to long till your cooking on this gem.
Oh man you gotta get that thing put back together so I can see it!!!! Can't wait to see how it looks when done.
Looks like you have a good starting point! I'm sure myself or some of the other Sequoia owners would be happy to help out.
That wood looks like its been refinished at some point with a nice stain or varnish.
Wow, great pick up! Can't wait to see some finished photos.
Whoa, full story please! I know it's alot of work but can you hotlink some pics into this thread? :D

I was thinking it had been redone too, but frankly I think that color and tone look terrific. I have not seen this one in person yet, but I sure do not think I would touch that wood other than cleaning it. Looks like it could go years and years before needing to be worked on.
Here are a few. Look at the lid!

Thanks, G$. K, Zavod44 makes covers for these. I think if the wood is in as good of a shape as G$ thinks it is, then a cover will help preserve it even better.

My in-laws (retired) live in Buffalo. I had my bride sic them on it. It gave them something different to do. I am in the transportation industry (another story), and had a truck leaving Buffalo on Saturday heading to PHX. I have no background on previous owner. It looks like a project putting it back together, cuz I want to do it right, and clean it up as I go. I just have a lot on my plate for the next little while, but I couldn't resist. There's the particulars. I see G$ has posted some pics from the link...I will update as I go, just not as frequent as you or I wish.
nice! I fixed your link, K. Any chance you also ship cars? I need a good price on shipping one from IL to CA. Help a brother out. :D
Not unless it's "The Cars".

I actually laughed out loud.
I knew you would, cuz you know the "rest of the story".
Not messing with anybody. G$ knows that this grail rode with Rascal Flatt's lighting, sound, stage, or whatever from Buffalo to PHX. Entertainment transportation.

That's what I figured, hehe.
Nice pickup! Love the Cados!
Super Sweet Addition!
Looks nice! The bowl and lid are definitely in better shape than the ones on mine.
I'd be interested in detail pictures of the hinges and door pulls and other H/W. What Jeff has on his do not look anything like what came on mine. I should start a thread on that.
That is going to be beautiful!
THat is in great shape. Should be a fun build.
Sweet Cado IS! I can't wait for the assembled pics.
Very nice, looks to be in pretty good shape!
