The top of the dresser turned out okay, I went over it with a scotchguard pad and some beeswax and it was nice and smooth.

It sold in less than ten minutes, so we had to deliver it to Zeeland.
I helped carry it into their basement, it was bloody heavy, even with most of the drawers out. It didn’t help that the route was like an obstacle course, of tight bends and slopes, by the time we got it into the room my arms were four inches longer.
We also finished another dresser, stripping off thick layers of paint revealed a cute cedar piece.
It started to attract attention on Marketplace within minutes of Kelli posting it, so we were hopeful of another sale.
We went out to dinner with John and Patty, who do similar work to us. It is our opportunity to gauge how the market is doing. They sell in three stores, and confirmed how slow things are at this time of year.
