I still occasionally get calls from people wanting my services. I am no longer in business and have moved from Kansas. Thank you all

For those who are waiting on orders or even waiting for me to get to your order, thank you for your patience! Paint stripper freezes about as low as water does, so I'll be purchasing a shop heater soon. Then I can be able to work through the cold! 😄

I tried a new kind of paint and stain stripping this evening. You coat the spindle in paint stripper and then wrap the spindle in aluminum foil. It seals the paint stripper, so it works very good! 😄

With cold weather upon us fast, I spent a day and moved my workspace into our shed. 😄❄️❄️

Well here it is, the culmination of 4 months of hard work and determination. This dresser has a lot of sentimental value to it, and I almost feel bad selling it.
Here's some history. This wardrobe you see here is from the Lullabye Furniture Company of Steven's Point, Wisconsin. This particular model was made in the 1930's-1940's, and as all old furniture goes, it is extremely well made with the finest Honey Birch I have ever seen. It has a beautiful shine to it, and in the right light, it is absolutely marvelous. Other features are hand-carved k***s, custom screws, a clothes rack, and hooks on the inside door. This wardrobe was found in the basement of one of my friend's houses. It is built like a tank, and there is not a mite of wobble to it. It still acts and looks like it did off the show floor. I am convinced this will last at last another 80 years at least!

The price is $800. You're getting a deal here. I have worked 60+ hours on this including all the parts and equipment costs, it is an antique, it is REAL WOOD (none of that particle-board or compressed-board stuff here!), and this comes with FREE DELIVERY.

**The final thing I'm doing is half of the proceeds of this wardrobe will go to the Lord's Diner in Wichita, Kansas.**

This is something I've thought about and prayed for for several weeks, and I'm glad I get to be able to do it!

Due to Internet changes at our house and data being disabled on my phone, the photos and pricing are late. But bear with me, they'll be here this week!

This dresser is giving me no end of trouble, especially with the drawers, but it will be for sale on Saturday!

A little clothes rack is one of the many quirks on this piece!
