Step 1 With sandpaper wrapped around sanding block, rub over edges of drawer carcass. Remove drawers and rub over all edges of individual drawers, too. You want to remove sharp, new-looking edges so your piece appears well worn.
Step 3 Using small amounts of polish on cloth, apply to carcass and drawers. Rub polish into timber grain, focusing on edges of carcass and drawers. Leave polish for 10-15 minutes, then buff to a low sheen with a clean section of cloth. Apply more polish and buff as desired.
Step 4 Since our drawers had existing finger tabs, we re-inserted them into carcass back-to-front. With this in mind, plan to attach tab file handles to required end of drawers. Place hammer-in handles in position and gently tap edges with a hammer to secure. Re-insert drawers into carcass.
