    This dresser was purchased from Facebook Marketplace. The main appeal that made me buy it was how high quality it was overall, aside from scratches and stains that needed some work to remove. The original legs looked very frail because of how thin and far apart they were, so I went with my go-to leg design and shortened the skirt to bring them in. The handles also weren't to my taste, but I wanted to honor their original shape in the new ones that I made, hence the resulting design.
    I hope you enjoy this makeover :)

      I just found this channel a couple days ago and have been binge watching. Really raising the bar for both furniture design and film editing. Amazing quality in both ball parks and fascinating to watch. Massive RESPECT. I suspect a very high IQ behind of this talent. Thank you for sharing with us, Andy. You're the goat.

  • @joym944

    I died a little when you got out the black stain but that's just personal preference. And, of course, it came out so much better than I expected!

    I had my doubts about the walnut pulls against the ebony, very much.
    This is dark but in the scandi-japandi style, very contemporary and unique. Most are afraid of thinning stain or modifying the color, and I haven't seen anybody else use black stain yet. WOW.
    Inspired and daring work as always. Thanks.
