Can do. Might be awhile. Started stripping the lacquer and it is not coming off easily. May have to put this on the back burner for now.
Last minute gift to myself. Not my usual thrift store find. Came into my former shop as part of an estate sale. Not cheap but was able to...
Definitely did not start out life together. Dresser is circa 1900 and missing the original mirror. Top is a bit tricky to peg. Could be as old...
Looks like a mohogany veneer on top with solid wood lower parts of lesser wood stained to match (poplar or maybe birch). Styling suggests 20s or...
