I love the idea of using wood that had a prior use. Its my idea of recycling..
Dresser looks beautiful, what finish was used?
Nice work.

Really nice work. The dresser looks very nice.
Did you have plans for this? Nice design. Nice use of the reclaimed wood too.
Thanks for showing.

If your daughter is anything like mine when it comes to her dad making something for her. Your daughter will cherish it forever! She will tell people My dad made this dresser for Me!!
Looks great! Good job!

-- Tony C , My high school shop teacher said "You can do it"... Now I can't stop!

Thank You All for the compliments. No plans other then what I drew based on her measurements. The finish is Mahogany with a little Ebony stain cause she said the Mahogany wasn’t dark enough. I actually have about 100 fence boards left from a fence job and my wife has her name all over them. And Woodshaver, yes, my daughter is 28, still living at home under DADDY CARE, and I’m ok with that. Now she wants a Cup Cake Stand so I guess I better sharpen my tools again.

Thanks Again

Looks great – nice job

Jim, the whole thing was layered in BLO and lightly buffed out with 0000 Steel Wool and Baby Oil.

I can imagine the work that went into that dresser, a true labor of love. It really came out nice, i dig the curved top door in the center and the different levels of the top. Chalk yourself up a few extra Daddy points.

Thanks, Daddy Points is what I live for. And the occasional Cakes and Cup Cakes she makes me.

Wow dude, you wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near that character and good looks with particleboard!

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

ugh… particle board. you came up with something much better.

-- If I can't make it, I probably don't need it.
