I had to polish the top to the dresser that hopefully we would sell today.
The stain I used was call Provincial which had more red than the Walnut colour that I usually use. But it was better than I expected, and the final waxing made it wonderfully smooth.
The black stained top had dried completely so that was ready to refit to the carcass. I also added another coat of finish to the third dresser top.
We took pictures of the dresser with the black stained, it looked great with the bluey grey carcass.
We then had to go and collect yet another dresser Kelli had spotted on Marketplace.
The people were selling all sorts of house stuff, they were moving, and everything had to go.
Kelli handed over the money, and we loaded it into the truck.
It’s was in reasonably condition, although something had been attached to the top at some time. There was a light mark where what ever was there had cut out the light, so this would mean sanding back the top and refinishing.
The couple arrived to collect the dresser, they were thrilled with it. They handed over a stack of five dollar notes, saying that the ATM would only distribute that value note. We didn’t care, Kelli paid for the pine dresser with some notes and a pile of quarter dollar coins that I empty out of my pocket and leave in a dish on the counter top, because money is money.
We ended the day preparing another dresser for spray painting tomorrow, whilst I continued to sand parts of the third chair.
Another Lifetime to go
