    This is what i like. A true restoration. Not just slapping some chalk paint on it and crowing, "Don't you just love it?" as another piece of mid century modern goes down. I do appreciate that some peopke have found a way to generate income, but it AIN'T RESTORATION!!!! KEEP SHOWING US HOW IT'S DONE!!😅😅😅

This is restoration in its true definition - the act or process of returning something to its earlier good condition or position.

I miss the smell of fresh cut wood. My dad would take the sawdust, mix it with paraffin & make fire starters for my mom’s Girl Scout group when we went camping, which was often. Anyway, love seeing your work! You’re a master.

    The colour of that wood once finished looks so deep and rich. Really beautiful. It really amazes me, the mindset of a woodworker/restorer. To the unskilled eye the furnature looks like trash for the bonfire but here we see, no, it is a valuable and beautiful comodity to be enjoyed for another several generations. For sure, id take this over brand new Ikea junk every day of the week.

    Every step of this I was picturing my late father. “That’s exactly how Dad would have done it” I kept thinking. Watched him at his lathe and making dove tails for many years. Aside from his reg job working as the town carpenter for the council, he had a shop in our basement and our house always smelled of wood haha. He made 4 big chests for us, his daughters made of mahogany with cedar linings (not cheap where I live), my most treasured possession. You did an amazing job, anyone would be proud to have that in their home. Absolutely beautiful. TY ❤⭐️

    You are more than a craftsman, you are a true artist. That chest is now a fine piece of furniture, custom-made. I don't know anyone who would not be happy to own such a beautiful piece of furniture. Bravo!

    You're not gonna find that at Ikea! Thank you for saving this piece from the fire wood pile. Absolutely stunning.

    I always find it amazing the way you match the new wood with old wood with the right shade of stain.👏👏👏👏
