<p>[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 1415714, member: 3335"]I think your dresser would benefit greatly with a coat or two of Briwax, you may be pleasantly surprised to see how it covers the nicks and scratches as well as cleaning the surface and imparting a mellow glow. Briwax comes in several colors, my personal choice for this piece would be antique mahogany, it would bring out the red tones of the wood. Apply with #0000 steel wool and buff just before the wax sets firm, working in sections at a time. Removing the drawer hardware would enable long smooth strokes when buffing. </p><p>Good luck with restoring this to a good usable piece of furniture, it should look very nice when complemented with the matching vanity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
