The restoration was a tedious process, being so old,it was difficult to match the color of the wood. The back was missing. I researched antiques, and built one, out of red oak to resemble the dresser. I used paint to blend in color to the wood filler and that seemed to work quite well., by gently rubbing with a rag the paint into the dry filler before, finished sanding and lightly sanding it out, it became invisible to the eye. The roller wheels I purchased from Rockler looked Authentic and were easy to install

Time to Build: 51-100 Hours    Difficulty: Difficult

"I only get to visit the Pittsburgh store once a year so I make sure to make my visit count. The staff there is always helpful and very patient as I zip from aisle to aisle like a child in a toy store."
