Pine Sideboard
I overhauled this pine sideboard and painted it this great red colour. The flour bin on the left could be used for dog food, pot and pans, a garbage bin. Overall I fixed-up the drawers and doors to be in perfect working order.

More Dressers
Here are a couple more dressers I picked up and refurbished - the dresser are
selling well!
I replaced all the handles. The one thing ya got to do when ya have varithane on the wood is sand them down - I go over all the drawers and drawer slides so the drawers glide back and forth smoothly.

The white dresser is pine and has square nails. The black dresser is made of hardwood. I also go over all of the framework and re-nail as required to make sure they're strong.

Horse Quilt Rack
This horse I made as a quilt rack. I used stair spindles for the legs
and added rubber chair knobs on the bottom of the legs. For the tails I used part of an old sewing machine.
It measure 3'-0" in height and 4'-0" long.
