I just purchased this dresser and at first, I thought someone had used different stains to get this affect, until I saw others on the internet with a similar appearance. I think it's a Flame Birch wood after my search on the internet but I'm far from knowing about wood types.
I think this dresser doesn't have a sealer, and if it does, the wrong sealer was probably used over the stain because the finish looks like it had a reaction, it's a crinkly finish. I want to refinish it but I need to know what I'm doing so I don't ruin it.
Could I use a 5" palm sander with 180 grit and see if the crinkly finish goes away and seal it?
So, am I correct on the wood type and does anyone have an idea what era this is from?
Thanks,
Ron
