Thread: A William and Mary Walnut Chest of Drawers

"All that glisters is not gold…"

But your drops certainly look the business! I predict another 'rush on bunfoot furniture- Brilliant work.

Pure craftsmanship.

Thanks chaps!

Indeed. I am already planning some interesting Christmas presents viz. a rocking Windsor chair for my father-in-law, a pipe rack for the old dragon, a croquet set for Mrs. Wood and some building blocks for the grand children... all with bun feet.

'Old Ambience No. 5' Antique Finish

Take one firkin of Don't Try This At Home and heat gently in a large copper pan. Slowly stir in one gill of Rub This On The Neighbour's Cat and bring to a rolling boil. The instant the mixture becomes nacreous, strain off the liquid into a clean carboy and immediately add a glass and a half of This Will Take Care Of The Mother-In-Law, a pennyweight of Well Sodden Impropriety and the merest pinch of Promise You Won't Tell Mum And Dad. Swirl the carboy anti-clockwise until cool and then drop in a fresh lump of Leave Well Alone. Cork the carboy tightly. Over the period of a few days, the Old Ambience No. 5 will become quite clear.

Stand the furniture to be treated in a sealed room. Place the un-corked carboy in the centre of the room and leave the furniture to absorb Old Ambience No. 5 for a month of Sundays or until the concoction has evaporated. Stand back in wonderment and congratulate yourself on a job well done.

Beautiful piece WW. I too would like a real WIP on the finishing process.

I was thinking of doing some batch-turning, and retro-fitting bunfeet to my Ikea den. The trouble is I get so hungry everytime I see a bunfoot!

Another superb piece my friend. Should have posted earlier but outside duties have kept me busy.

Seemingly cheaper by the gross; these bun feet may satisfy your craving.

Umm, no beef. They could at least add a limp lettuce leaf!

Then again, they may not. Strangely, I'm now off hamburgers
