My, oh my! He’s coming along just fine now! Little did I know, French polishing can be a workout! So many passes and burnishing in of that shellac / Lubricite Finishes - a special premixed padding lacquer for French polishing! He’s got at least a couple hundred on that top! Can’t wait to get him finished and dressed with his freshly polished brass pulls! Body and back fully refinished. Now to finish up the drawers and give his legs some attention too! Stay tuned! ✨

Beautiful wood grain gets me every time! Plus, the classic lines and style of this 19th century beauty call me to bring him back to life. Stay tuned for his transformation!

Patching and color matching a few spots in the veneer banding, and hours of French polishing yet to come!
