I’ve heard that if you follow the sandpaper numbers in order that you shouldn’t get swirl marks. I mean you start with 100 for example and then go to 120, 180 then 220. that’s a tip that’s helped me avoid those pesky marks when using my orbital sander. A nightmare of a piece, but it turned out beautiful.

I love the antique walnut! That piece is supposed to be "darkish," and the antique walnut did the trick without making it too dark. You've brought the old gal into the 21st century without making her "all tarted up!" I now have my mother's Bernhardt Asian Campaign pieces, including a secretary-desk unit with display space. After forty-odd years, they all need some TLC. I've been watching how you updated pieces from that line, and now I'm gathering my courage! Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing the "this is what's really going to happen" parts as well.

I guess it's a matter of how much we want to stick with the refinishing process. Thanks again.

You did a lovely job. I think you should list it to reflect the work you put into it. Including the estate sale shopping. It can easily be restyled a bit. You could even offer that for an extra fee. I would hype up the value in your listing. It has a quality maker. Furniture like this is no longer manufactured. With the drawer space, the built in book shelves, that piece holds a lot and does it beautifully. It could go in a studio apartment and hide being used as a bedroom dresser. Its an investment piece. I would price it accordingly. Personally, if I was looking for a piece like that, I would swap the hardware & maybe store the originals in an inconspicuous part of the piece. She is a princess. I would market her accordingly.

I can understand your uncertainty on this one. The wood grain after stripping wasn't as special as many of the pieces you have previously done. The walnut is beautiful, but it always bugs me a little when different wood types take the stain differently. I've seen people use spray toner to even out the colors. It will sell because you do exceptional work.
