    This was a failed up cycling project that I got off Facebook Marketplace and did my best to make it look as good as when it was new.

    The restoration of the exterior is stunning and you did a perfect job making it beautiful. Equally impressive is the detailed attention you give to the interior, underside, and back of each piece. The total restoration/refinish is beautiful.

    The transition was impressive. In the be3ginning I wondered if it was different pieces cobbled together. By the end it made sense. And the color choices really worked. Nice piece. Love to see old things made beautiful and saved. Glad Rufus hasn't fallen down on his supervisory obligations.....

    This is such a beautiful restoration. The repairs, in my opinion, make it look more authentic. After all, the average owner wouldn’t replace the entire veneer, either. I liked watching the laser, too.
    The refurbished hardware is simply gorgeous, and it looks great. You made an excellent choice with the stain and oil, and the drawers and interior are beautiful. That restore a finish stuff is pretty nifty, and I always love the results you get with the feed & wax.

    This piece looks like it's from the 1950's or thereabouts. It has great bones. I am honestly never disappointed with any project you tackle. This one is certainly no exception. It is simply breathtaking, much as it was when new no doubt. I would love to have that in my home! Very much my style and taste. I'm sure you could probably sell it for somewhere between $1200.00 to $1800.00 Its certainly worth it.

    I'm thinking broken decorative doors where the inner panel has been removed and mdf inserted. Not sure the base is original either. Think you have a better remake of the cabinet where the base and doors were replaced (80s/90s). Then an attept to upscale it with paint later. The 1930s type Talent F H Marshall have a very similar patina on the inside.

    @FlippingDrawers no surprise it looks far better than it did...
    I've never used the wax stuff...how does stain/varnish react to it? My hands are filled with arthritis...repeated clicking of a lighter would be painful. Can I use a soldering gun instead or would it be too hot?
    I recently removed the baize or felt from a few different items...I soaked it for a minute and most of it pulled up easy. Still had some I had to scrape but so far no sanding required. Hope this helps.

    Excellent restoration!! Doing a Google image search on this beautiful piece took me to an exact match for sale on Cherish. It appears to have had a small hutch with sliding glass doors that sat on top. As far as the mystery wood under veneer, molded plywood was often used to create the curves on the industrial mass produced furniture called Streamline Modern that emerged from the more labor intensive Art Deco style in the mid 1930s, which I believe this piece is representative of. 😻

      The anachronistic National Insurance card is not too hard to understand if you picture a lady with a shoe box of old papers from her dad, stuffing the box in that drawer, and then forcing it shut so that something got caught in the frame.
      I have seen veneer where there was a knot in the board it was peeled from, that ends up with odd unmatching circles in the final finish. That's what this looks like.
      Beautiful, as always. I just hope the value is sufficient to justify all those hours of labour!
