    I'm very happy that you kept it a natural finish. I'm not really crazy about the worm holes,etc'. I think that the wood had so much character on its own and had survived unblemished. I do like the castors and handles to bring it up to a steampunk aesthetic. Good work!

      yeah I agree. Beautiful progress but adding fake damage for a more... rustic look I guess?? Seems wasteful. Enough damaged dressers exist as is haha

      in a way I agree because it was sad to see intentional damage on the wood. On the other hand, it's just a different method of antiquing.

    Love it!! Those castors are awesome and cleaned up beautifully. Using the WD-40, to protect from rust, is just like what I learned from my grandmother regarding caring for a cast iron skillet. They have to be “seasoned” with oil to protect from rust and keep food from sticking. If maintained properly, they’ll last for decades. Bravo, another beautiful transformation!💜

    For the videographer: I love the rust and vinegar cocktail with the sound of heavy machinery backing up as the casters were lifted out of the liquid. Fabulous!
    If I had brought this piece of furniture to you for restoration, I would have been appalled at the number of permanent changes you were making from the outset. However, having seen your previous work, I would have waited patiently for this beautiful gem to appear. You even did a great job with fake distressing! Oh my! You are such an artist! It's perfect.

    It looks fabulous and I love the wax effect on it. I’m not sold on the artificial woodworm holes mind. If it had survived that long without it my personal feeling is that it could manage without it for good. However, it doesn’t spoil it and the wheels and handles are a perfect choice to set it off. Who would have thought such an ugly duckling could turn into a beautiful swan?
