this rocker came to me from a customer who retrieved it from the dumpster. it was in pretty bad shape and she was very pleased with the end result. i tried a new finish on this job. i used polyshades from minwax. its the ones that have stain and poly together. i really liked the stain but you really have to be careful applying it coz it likes to run.

What a save. Nice work. I have never seen a rocker like it. It must be true, ” One mans trash is another man’s treasure”.

I’m impressed… great save. Someone had an eye for the piece… and recognized the worthiness of restoration.
As an aside… I’ve tried polyshades on a couple of pieces I was attempting to restore… I wasn’t successful… too sticky thick (?) or something in addition to the run problem you mentioned and I couldn’t get the tone I wanted.
Thought I’d be saving time doing stain and finish with one swipe… not for me… I kind of blotched it. Maybe a different project with flat surfaces or something that should be sprayed? I dunno… I don’t condemn the product… it was probably my own user error.

Nice job. I would like to the look on the face of the one who threw it in the dumpster if they could see it now.

I second Stanley’s comment. If you want to see eyes pop go find the person who threw it out. Beautiful transformation.
