Today,
I would like to show you a Bureau that I have just restored
Once
again I had to remove the old finish and as this Bureau caucus was made of
solid Oak this allowed me to sandpaper off the surface, however, the fall was
veneered so I had been very careful not to sand through the surface.
Sanding
saved some time and also removed the surface scratches and stain marks etc.
Then
onto the staining, the choice best suited was Medium Oak as this brings out the
beauty of the wood.
Once
repairs were completed, then over to a spray finish for a longer and I felt
tougher finish for an everyday used item.
This
item would not have been French polished due to its relative modern production.
Comments are most welcome!
