This Challenge is hosted by Lemons to Lemonade TX. The goal was to create fall inspired , magical, spell-binding or spooky pieces of furniture.
Link to the playlist with all of the other channels who participated in this challenge:
• Halloween/Fall Furnitu...
My piece was a 20£ vintage dresser which I sanded down, and used a router to create many small faux drawers. I replaced damaged veneer and applied Danish oil to make the wood look beautiful. I used orange scented bees wax for the inside of the dresser, the back and the drawers. Label pulls were attached to complete the look.
Thanks for watching.

I absolutely love the fact you left the wood natural without stating it! it looks incredibly elegant in its simplest state.

Wow. Again, the attention to detail stands out. It's the cornerstone of what you do, and why you do it. Everyone of your videos is a tutorial of what is possible with restoration projects. Your editing and voice overs add to the entertainment value of your videos. AND YOU TEACH at the same time. Well done Sir.👍

Your abilities and patience are astounding. That was amazing to watch. Also, thank you for the beautiful music that you used on this video. I wish all furniture flipper/restorers/rescuers used beautiful piano music in their soundtracks. You and Barry from Mad City Modern are my favorites for watching an artist preserve the beauty of the wood. I admire both of you for being brave enough to tackle restoration rather than just painting. I hope someday I will have the skills to do what you do.
