very cool!

I always think I could refurb furniture if I had disicpline. I respect the people who actually do.

Thanks! I'll try to put up another couple pics tonight. My dad is this close > < to finished. All of the drawers are made, but one more needs to be oiled and knobbed. The back is on (except for the final slat). All that is left after that is waxing.

And here they are:

One drawer still unoiled and unknobbed.



The back is mostly on. One slat of poplar has been left off for easier access to the inside, until it's done.




A beauty shot of the side, displaying the dovetails.

Gorgeous. Did you ask your sister if she'd arm wrestle you for it?

It'll be a bit of an arm wrestle to get it to her place in Cambridge...

And it's done! I'll just put up a few different views, with and without flash. The piece actually looks sort of halfway between the flash and non-flash looks, but I'm not a professional photographer, so you'll have to imagine:

Great work! Shall we start the bidding?

I like the lip on the back to keep the crap from sliding off the top. I wonder if I'd keep the top clear if my dresser was that pretty? Na wouldn't happen, I need an intervention.

Sorry, it's spoken for... but thanks! Also, modesty requires that I shift most of the credit over to my dad. I'm afraid I didn't do much more than take the pictures once the first drawer was done.

First step was to plane it smooth.



The planer makes a bit of a mess.
