i really wish i had taken a before of this next picture. i retrieved it from a dumpster full of old barn debris.
it's well over a hundred years old, and it's rough finish just needed a little tweaking. making the drawers open and close smoothly was another matter....i also added a new poplar top because this is a custom piece and it needed to go in front of an electric baseboard. the new top allows it to push right up to the wall and also gives a nice clean surface so it can be used in their kitchen.
i don't normally post pics of my smaller work, but since i'll be focusing on knobs and jewelry and coasters and key hooks for twist, i won't have anything to show next week if i don't! so here's a pic of some new knobs.... and there are LOTS more to come.

What do you find is the best way to help old drawers slide smoothly?
depends what the hang ups are....
if the drawers are sturdy and square (not out of alignment) but still difficult to open and close, bar soap or beeswax can make a huge difference.
