ya burn the furniture.
Replaced the wife's 3 drawer "antique" chest-o-drawers with a new one. I got the old one out of a tumble down house I tore down on a lot (later sold) I bought back in the 60s. dunno how old it was but from the history on the house early 19xx or even late 18xx. Wife and her sister thought it was the greatest thing ever. "love" is blind. Mirror fogged to useless, top finish gone, gouged, scratched, worn, one leg missing, drawers that took 2 men and a boy to open/close. I finally got fed up and told her it was gone. Busted it up with my BFH and had it on the burn pile when I thought "gott burn it anyhow, why not in the stove" - done deal, cut it into stove lengths this morning and workign on burning it when the stove needs a bit of a boost.
It was all mortise/tenon, dovetail construction held together with minimal glue. Only 4 screws in the base and no nails except what had been used over the years to "fix it".
