Replace with new wood, or sand down (to remove splinters) and apply some shellac, or (if it's not one piece, and the glue joints are open) rebuild it. There's no real purpose to a drawer if things put into it fall out, so if the wood is really deteriorated, just replace the panel with whatever seems appropriate. That wouldn't be solid oak, antique drawer bottoms are usually a secondary wood, middleaged ones are plywood. |
