Question
I moved and it seems like the movers lost one of the drawers to my dresser. Is ther some place I can go to get an replacement drawer and not re-purchase the entire dresser?

Answer
Hi Carye
Nice to hear from you.
What a shame this has happened.
How in the heck can movers loose their drawers?...LOL..trying to cheer you up.
If I had your dresser in my shop, I could make you a drawer.
Now the big problem for me or any shop would be finding the matching wood for the drawer face.
It could be simple or complicated to replace the front wood.
So the answer to your question is ...Go to a wood working shop.
Hope this helps and good luck

Hi..I can answer most questions about the repairing,stripping and refinishing of all your old furniture and wood items(the things we call antiques)I can give advice about what to buy/avoid at auctions/flea markets. I do not give appraisals on antiques.

Experience

I have been refinishing antiques for the past 30yrs. While I have taken several courses over the years,I have found that "hands on" learning is the best teacher. Perhaps I can help you avoid some of the mistakes I made while learning.
