Just thought I'd sing my own praises here LOL. My sister and her partner were home from UK for a few days. They had seen the dresser top last year before it was restored. Sisters partner does professional restoration and also makes furniture.
When he saw the dresser last year he did not hold out much hope for it because of the woodworm and the state the piece of furniture was in.
Anyway, I never said anything about the dresser top as we sat in the kitchen on Sunday, suddenly he jumped up off his seat and headed towards the dresser. "Is that the thing that was in the shed last year" he said. When I said yes he was totally amazed at what I had done with it. He stood admiring it, feeling the finished work and commenting on how I brought out the grain.
This meant a lot to me to have a professional woodworker praise my work of art :)
Whoohoo
