This is a tiger oak veneer over pine drawer front that was somehow exposed to moisture and the bottom edge delaminated where the veneer was under stress due to being bent over an ogee shape. Part of the repair is not shown where I used a clothes iron to smooth out and reattach the only flat surface at the top. The damage resulting in many missing pieces was almost certainly caused by closing the drawer as the veneer hung up on the bottom rail. Overall, it is a nice early 20th Century Empire Revival style constructed of mainly quarter sawn oak, even the drawer sides. The drawer bottom is plywood thus dating the piece to the early 1900's. The legs, etcetera, are solid oak. This is known as a 2-legged commode.
The usual nicks, dents and chips were taken care of along the way. Any comments are certainly welcome and I read them all and respond when called for.
