Ironically, I'm also 72 and been working on furniture since I was a kid.

I absolutely love Silky Oak. I have a SO dresser that belonged to my grandparents, dated to 1919. It's slightly chunkier than the one you have so I would date yours to a little earlier than mine. Maybe the 1900s or earlier 1910s for yours. I don't think anyone in the 60s would have made a piece like this so that "67" on the back of the mirror is either the date of a replacement mirror, or something else 🙂 Love the refinish on this piece, showing the lovely grain of the timber. Mine needs refinishing too, you may have just inspired me.

It's amazing timber, isn't it. I was thinking that maybe it was custom piece that was made to order, but it's strange to see pine used with such an old piece of wood for the top.
