Antique Buffet

I really wish I would have taken a before picture of the piece.  It was in pretty rough shape, and I was too excited to get this bad boy home and get started on it.  There were chunks missing from it, paint all over it and parts that needed to be glued and clamed to get this piece back up to par.

What a difference sanding made on this buffet.

This was after the second drawer was sanded down.

Sanding. Sanding. Sanding.  This piece took a while.

This is the side of the buffet after a couple coats of stain and the first coat of polyurethane.  It was sanded again after this, and another coat of polyurethane was applied.

She was starting to get there.

And here it is with the final coat of polyurethane on it.  On this piece, I kept the doors off the front for where I used it.  I have the doors still though and they can easily be put back on.
