I finally got over to our storage unit to pull out a piece of furniture to work on. I chose an antique buffet because it has beautiful lines and there are only a couple minor repairs that will be easily remedied.
The top was sanded before it was put in storage. It was in great condition, but I wasn't crazy about the color. I used and dark antique wax to tone down the red in the wood.
Regarding the minor repairs I mentioned, the drawer is missing some pieces of molding that need replacement.
I smoothed out the area by sanding it and used an X-Acto knife to ensure a clean edge.
To recreate the missing pieces, I used putty (all products used will be listed at the end of the post) to make a mold. Once the mold was ready, I poured resin into it to produce a replica of the trim. The resin turned white when it was done. I then removed the piece, cut it to size, and attached it with super glue.
