1945 Cedar Chest Before |

1945 Cedar Chest After |
I got an unexpected customer, a woman who lives in Kalamazoo (one of
my favorite places!) who was in town visiting her parents who lived in
St. Clair Shores. She had a cedar chest she wanted stripped, so her
daughter could use it for a coffee table. She brought the chest over
that same evening. It was a 1945 Lane Cedar chest. She had asked for a darker stain,
so after I stripped and sanded it down, I applied walnut, which brought
out the dark wood. I then added two coats of semi-gloss polyurethane
and made some minor repairs.
