    I think you did a great job. I liked the vertical veneer in the alternating pattern. Great Work and a pleasure, as always to, watch and learn from you. So happy Ian did not mess with you too much!

    I like the way you restored the original character of the piece by keeping the fluting, while also putting a little spin on it, and glad you made it through the storm okay!

    Beautiful transformation. I have seen popsicle sticks, stir sticks, shims and wooden Venetian blind slats used to make fluted look, but this was by far the most beautiful and elegant look. Thanks for the inspiration.

    We missed you Emily! Even wasn't back and watched some of your older videos. I'm glad you made it through hurricane Ian, we were watching the storm closely too. I just love how you finished this dresser. The different colors on the top drawers were what did it for me, I could put it in my house and it would look great. Beautiful as always!!

    I mean, come on - that is just beautiful. I didn't think it could be salvaged without paint and was so sad to lose the original striping on the top drawers, and then you brought it all back to it's glory. Well done. Wow. Really, just beautiful work!

    It's glorious Emily. I love how it looks now after it's big spa day. I've bought 3 different types of veneer to do a herringbone on the drawers of my sons dresser. Cherry, Oak and I can't remember the third one! Good that you didn't get hit too badly. It was a terrible ordeal for some and thanks for the link to donate.
