Tip from the owner: when yard saling or antiquing it can be difficult to tell if that piece of furniture is solid wood . First clue.. weight. Solid wood is typically heavier than veneered over sub-strait . Next, look at the edges, if the grain on the edges is going in different direction than that of the top surface , it is veneered. ( veneering will also show a glue line; which can be difficult to see the darker the finish). Also, on solid wood top you should be able to follow wood grain thru on the edge or routering. Note , MDF or finished ply can be heavy but is usually bull-nosed so grain direction will change on outside edges. Knowing whether your piece of furniture you are interested in is solid or other materials is very important if the piece needs refinishing. Solid wood can be sanded; veneered surface can be lightly sanded and finished ply's or MDF really cannot be sanded( Reason is you will quickly sand thru it). Good luck on your search and as always call Cold Creek Restoration with any questions ; we're always glad to help!
