The Lovely Harvey has completed her refinishing project of her dresser! Her very first furniture refinishing project. It was definitely a learn as you go kind of deal for her and she made mistakes that taught her what not to do next time.
How it started:
After stripping:
After sanding:
The veneer is genuine wood veneer too.
All done! Stained with "gunstock" by Winwax and given a good soak of linseed oil.
The dresser left Basset painted white as a "French Provincial" style. We found several flaws in the wood that we think explain why it's got a wood veneer and was then painted.
Our theory goes that they made them to be stained or just oiled, but if the wood's appearance had flaws or if there was some sort of damage incurred during production, they filled and painted over the wood.
My dresser is likely the next victim for refinishing.
