I used non-sterated sand paper, Abranet (great stuff) then Abralon (also great stuff). Then I rubbed it out with Menzerna pre-polish then polish (amazing stuff). Topped it with three coats of Liberian wax.
I sprayed with a ASTURO High Transfer gun I've never felt more unexperienced at finishing.  Very nice work!
Cheers,
Trent

NO Trent, it not that way. You just do not see how many mistakes I have made to figure this out. I still put my shoes on the wrong feet. | |

Michael,
The overcoat or top coat of varnish I used from Target Coatings is very clear. Try it first but you should get a decent rendition of the base color. You can use other water based paints of good quality as well. Duron Ultra was recommended to me. That should get you a wide choice of colors.
I also did some outside wooden furniture with the same sealer with the black added at the factory but used a marine grade exterior poly also form Target. The poly takes about 150 hours to cure. It was slightly blue to purple until it cured. Now it is black. | |

John, that is one great looking dresser! I will agree with you that the undermount slides can be rather challenging, tho I found that after the first 40 sets or so, they are rather easy to deal with! as long as you don't short the order for any of the springy/catchy things that hold the slide to the front of the drawer, that is!

David,
Thanks. I built two because I usually totally mess one up. This worked out well so I was able to complete two. They are for my children. | |
