Finished up an oak lowboy/dressing table, English, early Georgian ca.1710-1730. It is a combination of a few pieces, Photos in books and one that I had repaired, Using period construction, quater-sawn /riff-sawn White oak. The top is Book matched white oak and pegged to the carcass. Drawers are constructed using "Second Phase" methods. Nailed on bottoms and glued drawer runners. The back is pine. It was first fumed for ageing, then colored with dye stain, shellac and wax as the finish. The hardware is 40+ years old and were hand cast from originals, I cleaned them up with files, polished, aged with ammonia then polished/cleaned again. Attached with old steel strips. Please don't mind the mess in the background. All comments welcomed. Thanks for looking
