This dresser is the final piece in a matching bedroom set that I refinished. . The refinishing schedule is the same as the vanity I posted in Project last night. Now all the pieces sit in my daughters bedroom. I reglued some loose dovetail drawers which gave me the opportunity (or excuse) to buy my first parallel clamps. I bought two 31” Jet parallel clamps bought with a 15% off coupon at Woodcraft. I really love those clamps. I wish they went on sale more Thanks for looking!

You did a very nice job. No problems with any veneers I guess…

Gary, I did quite a bit of reglueing especially along the edges, all over, but no replacement. I did replace the back of the bed footboard with 1/8” walnut plywood, but I could not match the color well enough with the rest of the piece to get satified. Fortunately, most of the footboard is covered by the matress. I just did not want to chance a really noticable replacement on this piece where everying thing is noticable. Reglueing was probably the most time consuming part of each piece.

David…Great work! You will quickly learn to appreciate the Jet parallel clamps. They are really handy.
