Shelf stained and varnished.










Shelf in place and edges routed with a round over bit. I was not sure about being able to see the inside of the dresser sides so I decided to cut a panel to hide the dresser frame at the bottom.
Also I thought that the top drawers after cleaning were too light as I had painted out the light maple frame and they were now the only part that did not match so I decided to paint them black as well and only leave the top, sides, bottom shelf and large drawers unpainted.

Board edge glued, biscuit cut, clamped for 24hrs then cut the contour for the front of the shelf and the hole for the cords at the back.

 New sides and bottoms for the two broken drawers.

 Painting out the frame.

Finally the colour is right first coat of varnish is on.

Might need to get some ebony stain as the dark walnut is not dark enough.
