A New Look
Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 09:39 in Restore - Post Comment
This dresser was purchased at the local auction for $35.00. It is solid beech with dove tailed joints and was in rough shape, but it was solid.
 
Because of how bad the finish was, the only option was to completely strip and refinish the dresser. I did a test on one of the drawers and decided that it should be stained. I used Minwax dark walnut stain and three coats of a satin oil based poly. The sad thing is I have almost as much money in new knobs as I do in the whole dresser :)
