Bassett 1960s desk
Bassett furniture desk from the 1960s purchased off Craiglist for $25. Walnut, sturdy.
Original top shown here...
...but turned out to be pressboard with wood grain applique. Surprising, given that the rest of it is solid walnut.
Original right side. The right front leg was split and missing a fair amount of wood.

Finished:
Materials: AS Graphite, AS Old White. Minwax Polycrilic on all except the drawer slats which received AS clear wax.
