You are wizard, magician, your hands are golden!

The mark on the wood is called a "Utility Mark". It appears on a lot of items produced in the UK during the 1940s. During WWII, imported materials were limited and only used to manufacture items that were most needed. First time I came across it was on some woollen underwear(!) but my parents were both children during the war, so they were able to tell me what it meant. Your chest of drawers manufacturer must have been already stocked up on mahogany before the shortages of imported materials!

Yes! I did a deep dive on this when I found this makers mark/logo on original fabric on an antique Birchcraft High Wycombe chair.

Mahogany + beeswax = Celebration!! Gosh, the colours and depth of colour in that wood has me drooling! It's gorgeous. And the dovetail joints of the drawers are a lovely feature in the contrasting woods. You made so many good decisions here, to make the most of the materials at hand to sort out issues and problems... I've not seen anyone do that before and I'm well impressed. A lovely, lovely job. 🤓👍👍👏👏👏👍👍🤓

I can hear the dresser saying thank you. It turned out so beautiful, the wood seems so alive again.

Thank you ☺️ and that’s the only way to do it in my opinion. That’s how I’d like someone to sell it to me.

That is a War time 'UTILITY' Dressing Table made between 1941 - 1951. The CC 41 stands for 'Civilian Clothing', and the 41 denotes the date. Info from a book about UTILITY Furniture and Fashion. You made a great job of it and it's good to see it live on for many more years. Well done 🙂

I love seeing people find joy in restoring things most people would dismiss as unsalvageable; especially nowadays when everything is treated as disposable

Interesting about the CC41 utility mark- I Wiki'd it and read about it. So you can date your dresser to between 1941 and 1951. It's just lovely, thanks for saving it.

When you said it was solid mahogany, I thought "And they painted it?" After you sanded the top,I noticed how pretty the grain was. Then you brushed on the oxalic acid, which really made that grain pop, and I couldn't wait to see the finished piece. It was well worth the wait. Simply stunning.

The 'CC' mark was put on furniture produced in UK during and after ww2 when wood was scarce. As I understand they rationed what furniture was made due to ensure they maximised raw materials. Pieces with the CC mark were always of good construction and sold at reasonable price. I understand after the war you could only by a piece of furniture if you were in definite need. Thanks for your great videos - from Birmingham England🇬🇧

I like that you spend the time to restore beautiful wood so often. Painting can be very pretty and sometimes when the wood is too damaged it just makes sense, but sometimes it's just an abomination to paint beautiful wooden furniture pieces.

Attention to detail is incredible. The interior of the drawers is beautiful! I watch a lot of furniture restorations (like every night to relax) but this one blows me away.
