One look at a Drexel Declaration piece and it’s easy to understand why these pieces are so desirable. Featuring blend of contemporary design elements with clear inspiration from shaker style furniture.

While the design of this piece was top of the line the condition was far from it. Clearly, it was time for a full restoration to bring this back to its former glory.

What I did:

  Glued down any loose veneer with @titebondwoodproducts wood glue
  Patched any missing veneer with salvaged vintage walnut veneer
Filled any voids with @jbweldDIY 2 part epoxy putty tinted with mohawk powder stains
  Reglued the entire base
 Sanded the original finish off with @3Mabrasives Cubitron sanding pads
  Sealed the piece with @Zinsser Sealcoat
  Performed color touchups with @mohawkfinishing Blandals, powder stains, and graining pens
  Sprayed a light coat of toner (Zinsser sealcoat + Transtint medium brown dye)
 Topcoated the piece with @geminiindustries Evo clear Satin Sheen
