Buffet makeover

[jodi1]

$30 on Marketplace! Lived outside for two years, full of mud wasp nests, water damage.  I could still see her potential.

Stripped, sanded and sealed I knew she was pretty!.  Handles made using dowel from Bunnings also.

Another wonderful transformation @jodi1.

How long did the buffet take to sand back? What were some of the lessons learned during this project that you could share with the community?

Thank you Jason ☺️

I stripped this piece first, then sanded.  It took a good full day to sand this back.  Starting with 60grit and ending with 220.  I kept the sawdust to create my own filler to fix the water damaged areas on the top.

My lesson learned is to take my time and don’t rush.
