The walnut knobs are removed for refinishing |
This handsome walnut dresser was manufactured by the Sligh Furniture Company(click on this). It makes a very elegant statement. Well designed, durable and attractive its varnish finish probably dates it to the late1940's or mid-1950's. Its nicely veneered with solid walnut trim and accents over and around a solid pre-manufactured core. It comes to the shop because it's varnish has wrinkled and checked with time .
As you see it here it's been hand stripped and re-stained throughout. Some loose dovetail joints have been re-glued--but then those of us who have been around for at least fifty years tend to need that anyway. The dresser is happily waiting to get a lacquer sealing coat and two lacquer finish coats before buffing and final clean-up.
