Amazing Restoration of Burl Wood Chest of Drawers
This chest was almost useless due to broken drawer slides and the finish was badly damaged. Gratefully, the wood was in good condition. I purchased this chest from the local Restore Store for Habitat for Humanity. It had been marked down to $6.
While I was working on it, a client stopped by to look at the credenza I had finished 2 weeks ago ( my most recent video). She loved the credenza and purchased it. However, when she saw this chest after I had stripped it, she offered to buy it for $350 provided I use Antique Walnut stain to match the credenza. ( I can't help but wonder if she would have wanted to buy it if she saw it before it was stripped!)
I think you will be amazed at the final results! I know I was. This entire video has no spoken words- only shops sounds.
