A trip to the local thrift store found this antique beauty just begging for me to take it home. It is a solid well made tall boy made by
Hammond Furniture, a Canadian company.
The inset wood design on the top drawer front caught my eye seeing it restored to its original luster.
I stripped the drawer front and top and sanded smooth to bare wood
The pieces each had 2 coats with the top getting 3 with a light sanding between coats
The original hardware on the left was scrubbed and refreshed with a coat of Rub 'n Buff in antique gold. It does not make them look new but more of an even sheen.
The top received a 3rd coat to darken and match the drawer fronts. Antiques were made with solid wood but many times with a variety of types so some may need a bit more color then others. The third coat also added additional durability to the top.
The super solid construction of these beautiful pieces is visible here with the dove tail drawers and the wood dowel drawer stops and metal drawer glides.
