I know we have a lot of talented Barfers and would like the collective wisdom of you to see where I should start:
I picked up this sweet looking Bassett Dresser and Nightstand and want to bring it back to its former glory. From what I can tell the "wood exterior" in a veneer because it's starting to flake off because I can pick it off with my fingernail.
My question is, how would you approach to bringing this back from the dead? I was thinking of hand sanding off the veneer and filling in any imperfections.Then either trying to source replacement veneer and either installing it myself or having someone do it for me. I wasn't going to touch the drawers themselves because they are in good condition.
Pics of said sweet furniture are below: :cool
