good job explaining the refinish work and history of the furniture piece...

The 'side door" is not for storage, it hold the Chamber pot.. Also this a 'production piece', meaning its not "hand made" probably part of a set of bedroom furniture made ina factory and would have been ordered via a catalog. Those joints are machine done The details (with the exception of the center drawer detail) are not "Hand Carved" but all the straight line work is machine cut. It would have been worth more with the original hardware (even with one missing) that those you used,

You could have gotten authentic hardware on ebay. They probably would have even been cheaper than the handles you bought.

I definitely could have! This movie was VERY early on in my painting career so I wasn’t quite as good at appreciating original hardware as I am now 😂 Thanks for watching!

Original hardware is the best!

Hi Bette! I agree, original hardware is best...if you have it all in tact. This piece was missing one handle and I used what I had to replace it. This piece has actually been redone and is now proudly sporting beautiful antiqued brass swan neck pulls.

I just scored a full bed bedroom set with a dry sink with mirror and nightstand with all original hardware and some signs of wear,but no gauges.I paid 150 from a guy on craigslist.the product you are using looks like just what the Dr. Ordered. Thank you for the video it was very informative.I am only learning about Eastlake furniture today.I knew once I saw the drawer joints ,that it was old.aparently the owner of the set had no idea what he had as it was left inside a home he purchased full of the previous owners belongings. Is this a good deal? Thank you in advance

So glad you found the video to be helpful! I can't really speak to whether that's a good deal because prices vary depending on where you live and how limited antiques are in your area. If you think it was a good buy, that's all that matters!

Never use steel wool on bare wood. The tiny steel fiber will lodge in the grain and will react to tannins in the wood causing black rust spots

Try oxalis acid for the stains. If the wood is charred, it may not be possible to restore it.
