  • The is the fourth Installment on a refinishing effort I am doing to a 1930s Heywood Wakefield dresser.
    The dresser was purchased for $25 and I am trying to do the work required to flip it and make a decent profit.
    In this video, I use my Bahco scraper, my Viper from Oneida, a Rockler hose and some serious dust collection from Festool.

      Thanks!
      Old furniture is made from lumber harvested from really old trees that we may never see again for furniture making and woodworking.
      So some of the most amazing wood is already tied up in older Furniture.
      That is one reason there is money in salvaging trees that have sunk in swamps or in some cases, large lakes like lake superior in Minnesota because those trees contain wood that is hundreds of years old from old-growth forests that are unlike anything that modern lumber looks like.
      A local lumberyard close to me, was selling some Beechwood, I think, that was almost holographic, in it’s grain structure, but it was three or four times what regular lumber cost because divers had to go pull it up from Lake Superior.
      So there is a lot of beauty in older furniture!
