    "Work smarter, not harder" should be your motto. Cutting apart the drawers and using the drill to sand the legs was genius. Love the color.

    By cutting the front of the drawers like you did, the pattern of the grain just flows. Nice.

    Absolutely LOVE this. Genius idea to put the wood over the drawers and to glue them all first and then cut. You turned an ugly duckling into a gorgeous beautiful swan. Well done my friend. I think this will sell rather quickly, not only because it’s a work of art but the colours are not bold or offensive or in your face and the lovely colours you’ve chosen will go with many peoples decor. Good luck 🤗

  • @karanseraph4726

    gluing the slats of wood to the drawers all together also enabled the grain to line up from one drawer to the next, so it was a good idea design-wise as well as in terms of efficiency .

    Turned out so kool very earthy. It would look great in a lakeside cabin. Those pulls must be made of cheap aluminum for the vinegar acid to pit it like that. The same thing happens with older aluminum kitchen ware.I have a vintage ice cream scoop and you can't wash it in the dishwasher with a lemon infused dish detergent as it does the same thing due to the acidity of the lemon.
