Featured Early 20th Century Quarter Sawn Oak Chest of Drawers

Great information. I had no idea there was a speciality company!

 

Thank you everyone! I had some bail pulls around that I could use (sort of). I'll keep watching ebay and see if I can find the right ones. Found a screw that was too long, but a couple of washers took care of that problem until the original one shows up during the weekly vacuum. Here it is, very happy with my new storage space in my old house that has almost none! Need to still clean the mirror, but that is a job for another day.

 

Absolutely gorgeous job you did on this. Brought the piece to life.

Great catch. I hope they work for her

 

Gorgeous!!

 

This type of "bail" handle is measured from the centerline to centerline of each hole in the drawer front, shouldn't be too hard to find something similar to yours.
How they are attached & what kind of screws really doesn't matter I don't think
Good job on refinishing, looks great.

 

Wow! Everyone has been so helpful, I really appreciate all of the information. This piece is from Coye Furniture, Wisconsin. Although not as special as most of the pieces I've collected, I looked so long for one of these that I felt like it was providence when it popped up in my search feed. As far as refinishing these pieces goes, I strip lightly with an orange stripper. Usually two or three coats. Because some of these pieces have painted on marbling, I try to be really careful. I haven't run into one of the painted on pieces yet, but still....If the previous owner stained it (as this one was) I try to get as much of the stain out that I can. Then I finish with 2-3 coats of Tung Oil. This one ended up a bit redder than I prefer, but that is the result of the awful staining job that the previous owner attempted on it. Thank you all for the answers and the encouragement!

 

That looks wonderful!
