You gave this dresser a second life. Well done. The nutmeg stain was a good choice. It worked with the residual red tones in the wood instead of fighting it.

You did one of the best jobs I've seen on this kind of finish. That two tone early 50s finish was called "guitar finish". It is super hard to undo. Usually these get painted by flippers, because no one wants to strip and refinish.

@mcmredo

Cool, I never heard of a "guitar finish" but definitely applies to this particular finish! I had my doubts at the beginning if it would totally come off but with ALOT of sanding it did!

I don't know about 50's furniture but I have a guitar with a two-tone finish called a sunburst finish. And I must say it looks better on my guitar than on that dresser, which BTW now looks amazing! Great job!

@@barrydsears yes, the finish was two toned to resemble a guitar finish. Very popular furniture finishes in the late 50s.

Are You Kidding?? This is Stunning Compared to what It Looked like! Creative's are Always Their Toughest Critics! The Original Makers hid all that Lovely Design. Great Color choice. The Darker Trim on the Drawers is Such a nice 'Hidden' Touch. You can't see it Until You open it. It adds to the Beauty of the Piece. Loved the Retro Jazzy Movie Music!

You did a great job. I have to use nutmeg stain and a sealer for a breadboard. Your video is also a great "how to do it right" for me. Thank you for that. The dresser is beautiful; but, I would change the much outdated drawer pulls. That would change the look a lot and make it more aesthetically pleasing. I think you'd like that since you're not overwhelmingly pleased with the dresser.😊

Great work! Great find! Really shocking to see the beautiful grain and figure of the wood under that cheesy finish.

Your use of it as a treatment on concealed edges was smart, inventive, and enhanced your refinishing work. Thank you!
