Well, I am completely new to the forum and to the woodwork world. My first project was to refurbish an old kitchen dresser.

With no experience and girly hand, here is the result. Is that any good?? I like it but wish to get some professional opinion :)

Hi mate, it looks well done, and so I am sure you should be really happy in that.

However, if I may be so bold to question, and I am assuming it is an old piece, rather than a new one made up, I am wondering why you painted it rather than french polished it as it would originally have been.

For me, antiques shouldn't be painted, but perhaps that is just my view on the world. I do hope I havn't offended, as none is intended, but if I have, please accept my apologies.

Looks great to me. I have been looking at my first project for months now. I'd have liked it to look like yours but have other restrictions. Well done:U
