I picked up this dresser thanks to craigslist.com~~ free section. As you can see the previous owner dreiced to pain the whole thing PINK!!! The construction is solid and the dovetails are still tight, whick is always a plus.
This picture is of the sides. You can see that there is an additional panel that I haven’t decided whether or not I’m gonna keep it. Any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated. As far as my plans I am going to take off the olf veneer on the top, strip all that pink paint off and veneer the whole thing again. I was thinking zebrawood for the drawers and Indian Rosewood for the rest. Again, any ideas would be a big help here. I don’t have a finish schedule yet but I am thinking of a natural finish.
More to come as I progress along… thanks for looking

Sory to say but that is not as pink as the one in my shop I was given. I think it is why it was free also. haha
Mine doesn’t have the good joints but it still holds scraps and tools.
