That is the question that these finely re-finished pieces of furniture pose. After several weeks of labor (okay, really two weekend days of hard work), I finished my wood re-finishing project. This piece here has been with me since my days at 3389 Hoover Heights and made the journey from Harborcreek to Cincinnati to La Jolla.
Given every piece of wooden furniture in my bedroom seems to be a different color, I decided to consolidate a bit. I was also spurred on by Reggie chewing on part of the base of this dresser. Although you can still tell the base is a bit uneven, Reggie's chew marks are much less obvious after the DeWalt sander had its way with them.
If I had known how much work it would take to re-do these pieces of furniture, I might have just purchased new furniture. However, now that all is said and done, I'm glad I undertook the project. Just make sure if you're ever thinking of re-finishing furniture you allocate plenty of time, cover everything on your deck (there is an insane amount of sawdust that comes off these things), and wear a mask. Otherwise, you'll be sneezing for days.
