Queen Anne style small chest of drawers transformation / white wax

This piece of furniture is around 1920's...I wasn't brave enough to paint it with a colour so decided to remove the varnish (as you can see on the pic below all cracked) with the stripping gel (without a sanding paper!).

I used a clear wax and for the FIRST TIME I used the WHITE WAX !

LOVE IT !

 

Handles: primer, white paint, clear wax and dark wax
