My son's boss told him to take these pieces and burn them, Instead he brought them to me.
This is what I built from one of the pieces. Solid Oak, hand planed and scraped the old finish off and cut out the rot. Finished with General Finishes Enduro-Var.
It's actually made from one of the pieces, I have 3 left to play with. It came apart easily all the glue joints were lose. I did the drawers first, I figured that once I got them done I would know how big the case needed to be. I had to make new backs for the drawers but was able to salvage fronts, sides, bottoms and guides. I had to make a new back right leg because the original was too far gone to salvage. I also had to replace to side panels with 1/4" oak plywood. I stained the new pieces to match the old wood. I plugged the old mortises with scrap from cutting down the drawer fronts and cut new mortises. I tried to match the joinery used in the original construction. I used cut offs from the rails to make drawer pulls. They have a nice cove and bead profile. I cut the top and backsplash down to size and attached it with metal clips, originally it was attached with screws through the rails.
It really was a lot of fun, I got to use my hand plane and scrapers a lot. It's not like building from scratch where everything is straight and has clean sharp edges. Warps and dings add character to the finished piece. It's like "antiques made to order".
