    Wow, what an amazing finish. I would never have considered highlighting the piece in that way. When I saw the stripper taking the finish off I thought, "what a shame they didn't use the same wood all over, now he'll have to stain it to blend it together". Boy was I wrong. This looks fantastic, well done!

    One of the nicest refinishes I've see yet. Who would have ever thought such a not-so-lovely piece of furniture could look so expensive, hold it's vintage look and have a color that will be timeless. This won't need a refinish 15-20 years from now. Amazing!

    I didn't know it was possible to be in love with a piece of furniture but I am in love with this! I can't believe someone was just giving it away. Even if you had just stripped it and then given it a clear finish, it would have been good. I was getting masculine vibes from the piece while you were working on it, and when you chose the hardware at the end it just confirmed that feeling. It's so beautiful. Loved the asmr with scraping off the stripper, thank you for that!
