Don't worry about being too chatty! You are one of the few refinishers who does explain what you are doing. It is a valuable teaching/learning tool! This one was pretty straight forward, but others help immensely when you explain what and why you are doing. Thanks for being you!
I like all your refinished videos. Don’t hesitate to record these supposed “unexciting” videos! And we need to figure out how to get Odies Oil to sponsor you!
@Transcend Furniture Gallery Odies (if I'm spelling that right) do sponsor RUclipsrs I think. The Samurai Carpenter mentions them as a sponsor because he's totally won over to their product range. I know asking direct is maybe not everyone's thing, so maybe a passing superfan of yours will mention you to them.
Stickler is a very top end furniture maker. It has been making Furniture since 1900. Fabulous find! Refinishing it rather than painting is showing off that beautiful wood. 👍🏻
Do you know anything about Cresent Furniture? Just picked up an antique set of dressers for free. One of the drawers had a tag that said Makers of Solid Pennsylvania Cherry and Solid Mahogany Furniture. Wondering if anyone knows more!
When you said Stickley, I fell in love. It's my favorite furniture maker; I have a king bed in solid oak from their mission collection. I also have my parents' solid cherry high boy and low boy dressers that they bought in 1942 when they married, with the original finish. They need to be redone, but I don't have the equipment, money, or space to do it. So when I learned you were going to do a solid cherry Stickley dresser, I was in heaven. The finished dresser is dreamy gorgeous. I'm so glad that you didn't paint any of it. The wood speaks for itself. Lovely job!
2:15 I love love love seeing the panels in between each layer of drawers. I was always told this is one of the hallmarks of better furniture. If anyone is in a thrift store or picking up furniture from an online seller and they find panels between the drawers up and down, they have a well-made piece of furniture no matter the manufacturer. Stickley is definitely that! Great work on this gorgeous old dresser!
JAW DROPPING restoration “ Chatty Angie” 😅 Your voice, the music, the process, EVERYTHING is always good. Would you please give some advice or guide to have a “starter kit” of tools, brushes, paints etc to do at home furniture flips ?
Gurl yeah! The stripping of the wood looks so calming and therapeutic. i think that would be my favorite part if i was into restoring wood. so much fun!
I love all the "not exciting" parts! Those parts make your channel so magical! The process is important to getting your results and I love seeing it all. I haven't seen a smile on Mr D.Walt's face in a while though. Thanks for giving us more cool videos Angie. Also the stripper gunk looks exactly like that octopus video!
I loved that, when you started using the brush to scrub off the finish, I said to myself, "she should mention that the brush has nylon bristles and not metal." A half second later, text popped up on the screen that mentioned the nylon bristles. You consistently cover such bases in your videos, and while sometimes one would consider some snippets as common sense, it isn't always the case. 🙂
I love this channel particularly, you have an amazing talent plus a soft voice which makes the commentary so pleasurable..You've mad me appreciate the look of natural wood, its nature at its finest, and you bring it back so beautifully ..Watching from the UK by the way xx
To have a solid wood piece of a furniture is to be very wise. They are to be cherished. Thank you Angie for knowing how wonderful that type of furniture is--and knowing how to rejuvenate it and take care of it. That new owner will use the dresser and chest of drawers for the rest of her life, and hopefully keep them in her family.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I had very similar cherry furniture. I'd love to see those pieces refinished like this! So, so beautiful! I agree that cherry is a beautiful wood. My mom has all cherry everywhere. Lol
It seems that the original finish on many of the pieces you rescue is so thick and opaque that it hides the internal beauty of the wood. I see you as a liberator of the wood's natural beauty. Thanks for your instruction and your integrity!!
It's so much better without that thick lacquer finish on it. The odie's oil just brought it back to life beautifully. That top now - wow. Well done girl.
The natural wood is beautiful. The shimmer, the prominent grain, the colors...love it. Your choice to leave the wood natural allows the details of the furniture to stand out, like the base. The contrast of the handles against the wood adds a decorative element to the piece. Beautiful job!
Hi Angie, i love the chat. Your voice is very relaxing. And the bunnies, what a lovely person you are to care for them. And of course Angie, what a wonderful job on the cabinet, looks beautiful…amazing. 👏👏👏
I think this video was a really good idea for you to make because it shows just how much better a different finish can make on a piece. I own a quality dresser that isn't in bad shape in any way, but it's boring and old fashioned looking. It's not antique, it's vintage though. I like it but I don't love it. I didn't want to paint it and I didn't see a reason to refinish it before, but now I see what's possible. I love this new updated look. I agree I would have changed out the hardware for myself as well. What you've done to enhance the wood is so gorgeous it makes a lot of sense to refinish a piece like that. Also I love the bunny break. They are so cute. I didn't know bunnies needed rescuing or that there were people who took on fostering them. I think I could be a foster person or even a bunny owner. They're adorable. I love what Odie's Oil does to enhance the entire piece. Thanks for letting us see one of your 'boring' refinishing jobs!
Oh my gosh, that is gorgeous! It makes my heart glad that you are restoring these old pieces that are so beautifully-made. I found your channel while blundering my way through stripping and refinishing an old fir 15-light interior French door that was in the circa 1950 tiny bungalow we bought five years ago.
The right attitude! Make something beautiful from low quality furniture and save the life on furniture made of homogeneous wood such as teah and mahogany. Some people do not understand the difference, but you do, I appreciate that. In 1971 I used strippers like yours on a motorcycle, no one said anything about the danger of the chemicals. There due to my bad grammar 😂 Good luck Carsten Sweden
Currently homeless and working on getting my own place. Your videos inspire me to keep working so that I can customize my own furniture one day. Thank you
Brilliantly beautiful!!! Angie you are very talented!!! I've been refinishing furniture for a long time and I never tire of seeing the beautiful grain of the wood come out from under the heavy factory finish!!! Thank you for sharing the "unexciting". Anytime you take wood from old and warn to gorgeous is exciting!!! ❤
WOWZA!!!!! That looks incredible. That is prettier and even though this sounds weird....healthier looking wood then new. They had the wood covered so thickly it seemed. This turned out AMAZING, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.👍
Don't worry about being too chatty! You are one of the few refinishers who does explain what you are doing. It is a valuable teaching/learning tool! This one was pretty straight forward, but others help immensely when you explain what and why you are doing. Thanks for being you!
You're so welcome! I really appreciate that! 😊
I think turning the handles black brought the colour of the wood out more. It's stunning. Oh my gosh those bunnies are well adorable x
your right i feel the same way what a awesome piece totally great job!!
I like all your refinished videos. Don’t hesitate to record these supposed “unexciting” videos! And we need to figure out how to get Odies Oil to sponsor you!
share some videos to their facebook page if they have one.
Yes! And this is great for all the furniture purists who freak out about paint hahaha. Send em all over here!
She should have several sponsors, she is by far the best finisher I found on utub.

Shared this video on their FB page🤞🏽
One of the reasons I love your channel is that I don't have to worry you're going to paint over a solid cherry piece by a great maker. Thank you!
You're welcome!

Sometimes I type too fast the company name is Stickley.
Do you know anything about Cresent Furniture? Just picked up an antique set of dressers for free. One of the drawers had a tag that said Makers of Solid Pennsylvania Cherry and Solid Mahogany Furniture. Wondering if anyone knows more!
WE LOVE THE BUNNY INTERMISSON!! WE WANT MORE CATS TOO! LOL!! LOVE THEM!!!
I'm glad you included this "less exciting" video. Still informative!
The way you caught that stripper drip with the brush 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤩🤩
Catlike reflexes ;-) hahaha I was wondering if anyone would catch that (pun intended, lol)!
😅😅😅yep.... well at least I did
Aah, the wood has come alive!
Love the cherry wood and the bunnies! 🐇 💜
You made the right decision with this finish. What could be more "luxury" than real deal cherry?
When you said Stickley, I fell in love. It's my favorite furniture maker; I have a king bed in solid oak from their mission collection.

Beautiful job refreshing a classic. Mr. Stickley would be proud. The black hardware is a great compliment to the cherry.
I love your work and am SO happy to have found your channel! You’re a wonderful teacher and serious artist.
I love when you talk through your videos. I love your insights.
Absolutely stunning in her natural Cherry finish!
Thank you so much!
I could watch you ALL day!
Oh, I LOVE natural-finish cherry wood. Love the darker hardware, too. Thanks for this!
You're most welcome!! 😊
Love the dresser transformations. And love those darling foster bunnies!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Where is the WOW button? That's terrific.
You never fail to amaze me with your restoration skills, Angie. This is a stunning result! 😍 And I never complain about bunny cuteness intermission!
JAW DROPPING restoration “ Chatty Angie” 😅 Your voice, the music, the process, EVERYTHING is always good.
Would you please give some advice or guide to have a “starter kit” of tools, brushes, paints etc to do at home furniture flips ?
Painting the hardware black was genius. This looks so good.
Thank you very much!
Cherry IS gorgeous. Also, thanks for fostering bunnies--I have 2 adopted troublemakers.
Thanks so much for watching! Bunnies for life!! 🐰🐰
I used to have bunnies, they are so cute! Glad to see your foster bunnies, it warms my heart!
They are! Thanks for watching!
The bunny interludes are everything. Please keep it up.
Gurl yeah! The stripping of the wood looks so calming and therapeutic. i think that would be my favorite part if i was into restoring wood. so much fun!
Wow, I can't believe how much better that piece looks with the hardware painted black! Thanks!
I enjoy watching you bringing lefe back to these lovely pieces of furniture.
Glad you like them!
Love the dresser. And of course the bunny breaks are appreciated by us too.
What can I say Angie except
Superb !!!.
superb !!!.
This is beautiful!!! You do such wonders for unwanted, run down or tired furniture. I enjoy watching you give life back to them.
I love all the "not exciting" parts! Those parts make your channel so magical! The process is important to getting your results and I love seeing it all.

The BUNNIES!!! Thank you for sharing with us!
Another gorgeous transformation! I agree with you, some furniture shouldn't be painted...just needs to be refinished. Well done!
i loved seeing the bunnies too!!
I love this channel particularly, you have an amazing talent plus a soft voice which makes the commentary so pleasurable..You've mad me appreciate the look of natural wood, its nature at its finest, and you bring it back so beautifully ..Watching from the UK by the way xx

Beautiful cherry dresser. The oil finish sure brings out the wood's grain.🌷🌷
Oh my gosh, the bunnies are so cute! Love the bunny intermission! LOL
Absolutely beautiful, once again Angie you have done it! Thanks for sharing this beautiful restoration!
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I had very similar cherry furniture. I'd love to see those pieces refinished like this! So, so beautiful! I agree that cherry is a beautiful wood. My mom has all cherry everywhere. Lol
I love cherry as well and those old dressers are everywhere so this is a perfect project.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I ALWAYS love the bunny and kitty intermissions 🥰
I'm so glad! Thank you again for watching Johanna! 😺🐰
That is absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful wood is God's art. ❤
Gorgeous!!! 1000 times better... I love that you restore beautiful wood and don't just paint everything.
Leaving it natural shows the beauty of Cherry Wood. You did an Awesome Job. Looks Brand New...❤ Excellent Job.
Ohhh😮😮😮 quedó 💎💎💎 me encanta la madera ❤❤❤. Gracias.
It seems that the original finish on many of the pieces you rescue is so thick and opaque that it hides the internal beauty of the wood. I see you as a liberator of the wood's natural beauty. Thanks for your instruction and your integrity!!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
Those dark 80s finishes gave cherry a bad rap. Love seeing someone appreciate its true beauty.
Gorgeous and Stickley is a quality maker of furniture !
The factory finish made it look like cheap veneered particle board, what a beautiful transformation!
Wow. I’m shocked at how good that old dresser looks now. 👍👍
Ahhhhhhhh cherry in all it's exquisite natural glory!!!!! Thank you for sharing this, I adore natural aged cherry.
You're most welcome! Thank you for watching!
I am in live with this piece. So much fresher and natural.
I'm so glad you like how it turned out!
Angie, I REALLY like the unstained, natural finish you attained. It's great to have the tray, labels and original hardware! 🥰
Thanks for watching!
It's so much better without that thick lacquer finish on it. The odie's oil just brought it back to life beautifully. That top now - wow. Well done girl.
The natural wood is beautiful. The shimmer, the prominent grain, the colors...love it. Your choice to leave the wood natural allows the details of the furniture to stand out, like the base.
The contrast of the handles against the wood adds a decorative element to the piece.
Beautiful job!
Thank you so much!
Watched this before but still listened again while painting…. You’re lovely to listen to and very relaxing. Please chat away!!!!
Hi Angie, i love the chat. Your voice is very relaxing. And the bunnies, what a lovely person you are to care for them. And of course Angie, what a wonderful job on the cabinet, looks beautiful…amazing. 👏👏👏
I love natural cherry. This piece turner out absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing
It's gorgeous. Great refresh and it looks updated too. Thanks for the bunny break.
Very, very nice! Like the more natural, clear finish, and the black hardware really completes the look.
Beautiful cherry. Wonderful job finishing a high quality piece. Best choice letting the wood speak for itself.
Thanks for watching!
Stunning! And never hesitate to include a bun bun break 🥰
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

Sooo beautiful!! Thank you for the instruction and a glimpse of those darling bunnies.
Oh my gosh, that is gorgeous! It makes my heart glad that you are restoring these old pieces that are so beautifully-made.

I love seeing the wood over painting when the piece is that beautiful.
Certain wood grains I really try to restore if I can at all. Thanks so much for watching!
The wood seems to glow with the odies oil 👍🏻👍🏻
That cherry wood is like chocolate for the eyes!🐇🍫
Isn't it gorgeous?? Thanks so much for watching!
Fellow flipper here! Thank you so much for sharing, I always learn so much from your videos, I’m already looking forward for the next one 😊.
Do love the bunny interlude. I love cherry wood also.
That dresser is better the second time round!
You hit it outta the park again. Just beautiful
Thank you so much! 😊
Currently homeless and working on getting my own place. Your videos inspire me to keep working so that I can customize my own furniture one day. Thank you
Hang in there and keep the faith!

The dresser is breathtakingly beautiful, Angie! Loved watching you transform it. Great work as always.🐇🧡🐰
WOWZA!!!!! That looks incredible. That is prettier and even though this sounds weird....healthier looking wood then new. They had the wood covered so thickly it seemed. This turned out AMAZING, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.👍
I know right? It was all a uniform brown and gloppy-looking. Now it positively glows.
I KNOW!!! What is it about sanding?? I was just thinking how relaxing it is to watch you sand, and YOU enjoy it too!
Wonderful result. Love the beading around the drawers.
