My husband and I bought this ugly dresser from the Boise Bench Commission for 50 dollars. This is a picture of it after I sanded it down, prepping it for some paint. I sanded it with my dad's Makita sander once with 60 grit, then once with 120 grit sand paper. I love the smoothness of the wood after the second sanding...I couldn't stop touching it! I was tempted to just put some lacquer on it and call it good because I thought the wood looked pretty, but there were some inconsistencies in my sanding that would make it look weird...so I painted! I'll post pictures of the painted product once I do the second coat.
