- Wendy was a dear friend and a long-time customer. This final piece of hers was possibly the most meaningful thing I've worked on in my shop. It's a stunning art deco sideboard with curved glass. I stripped and refinished it. I hope Wendy's daughter approves.

I’m a woodworker. I’ve been working with wood for over fifty years. I’ve built furniture, cabinetry, children’s toys and countless other things. I watched your work on this piece with a critical eye. I want you to know I was expecting to see things I would have done differently and by that I mean better. How wrong I was. I can honesty say that the customer was very fortunate to have your skilled hands on their prized piece of furniture. You made that look amazing. Kudos!
Thankyou!
Beautiful job!❤
I'm so glad her daughter chose to continue with the restoration of this piece. it's truly beautiful, you do masterful work.
@Alfred E. Neuman I stand corrected and by Alfred E. Neuman no less!
@Alfred E. Neuman Yes, unfortunately, restoration / restoring is used synonymously with refinishing these days. It's a shame as they're two very distinct methodologies.
You just confirmed my impression of you speaking about your friend passing away. Hearing you describe her and sensing the emotion from you, I have no doubt this will be one of the finest restorations of your career. The world needs more people like you now more than ever.
Thankyou
You did a wonderful job bringing tones together. Her daughter is so fortunate to have this now beautifully restored piece of furniture to remember her by!❤❤❤
Thank you so much!

So special and I know the family appreciates the lovely job.
As Thomas Johnson would say about this project "I think it looks pretty good."
That toning process is just fascinating. That definitely comes with experience. Just wow!!!
Trina, you should be very proud of your work on this (and every) piece of furniture you work on. I hope your Dad has seen this and is proud of you too. Absolutely Brilliant Work. Long may you prosper.
RIP Wendy and good on Tiffany for getting it restored in memory if her mum.❤️🇬🇧
A shop that is ACTUALLY restoring!
A talented master, strong and very beautiful woman.
Sleep in the lights, Wendy
This is so beautiful! I have never seen a cabinet designed like this. It is wonderful that you saved it and made it sing again!
As a woman that lost both my parents I understand how much pieces like this will evoke so many memories for her family. You are one in a million!
Thankyou
Finally, a beautiful woman without tattoo.
@@seanleith5312 Yeah, all these women with tattoos eh? Daughters of Satan I say!
@@PreservationEnthusiast It's not that. They can mess up with their bodies any way they want. But if a society degraded like that, it's just sad to see.
@@seanleith5312 It's not degradation though is it. Just a personal choice and probably a passing fad of fashion.
What a wonderful tribute to your friend, so glad her daughter wanted to see it through. Trina, I’ve run out of adjectives to describe your work, you’re a true artist. Thank you for sharing these wonderful furniture pieces.
Im so sorry for the families loss. This piece is gorgeous, Wendy truly had an eye for antiques. You did such a splendid job… Im thinking Wendy would be very pleased and happy you finished this piece for her daughter to enjoy. 💕
The lady must be beaming and her daughter is surely thrilled. There are many ways to provide blessings to people and you were instrumental in providing one here. What a great way to use your talent.
Absolutely beautiful. I have pieces that belonged to my grandparents that they loved. I'm protecting them until the day I can get them restored in their memory. Noble work indeed!
Trena... Your toning skills are magical. Amazing how all the repairs disappear... especially cross grain scratches on the top!
So great to have these earthly possessions to remember our friends and family after they leave us. They have gone to a place where refinished furniture, or any possession, doesn't exist or matter. Take time to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, even in their original unrestored condition, before they are gone. This is the time to appreciate and celebrate them.
I'm praying no one takes the "time" to fix up all my junk when I'm gone. Time better spent might be to stop by for no reason other than to give me a hug while I'm still here 😁
Thanks for sharing and endless treats for Nessa's appearance.
I agree
😮
Condolences to this family ! "When a person dies, they leave behind a space. This space is by no means empty, rather it is a space that consists of a rich bed of unique memories that represent what this person was about, what they offered to this world, and how they touched and shaped our lives. " Your hard work is paying off woman ! i can clearly see the results , looks awesome ! love this piece also 👌
Book matched veneers on the drawers? You make big smiles from your friend Wendy-Rest In Peace. Nice work as usual.
This turned out so beautiful ! Looks art deco style to me . I love the curved glass . I know she is smiling down on your work !
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. I just turned 74, myself.
Happy birthday!
What a great job on a gorgeous restoration on a nice piece of furniture. Good job Trina!
Beautiful! Simply beautiful! RIP Wendy. Condolences to Tiffany and her family.
Museum quality restoration, filled with the love of the restorer. What a gift to give her daughter, what way to honor her mother's memory.
Trena, the pride you take in your work and your colour matching are absolutely astounding. Thank you so very much for sharing!
What a beautiful transformation, it’s a gorgeous piece of furniture. With loving care, to Wendy!
What a masterful restoration on a classic piece with a beautiful story. You did her proud!
Thank you very much!
Once again your mastery of your craft shines through. This was what most people would consider a throw away and you brought it back to life! Well done Lady, well done!
Rest In Peace Wendy ..once more a professional and beautiful restoration in memory of Wendy!!
All that I can say is that you're amazing at what you do.
Good to see that piece move on to another being. The reason I built oak furniture was to see that stuff go on down the lines.
You beautifully honored your friend Wendy by your work, care and love, on this piece. Well done, Trina!
What a beautiful restoration and you could tell in your voice in the intro just how much Wendy meant to you and no doubt many others. Wendy will sure to be looking down smiling! x
Wow.
Just wow.
I fround for the first half and smiled real big the last half.
What a beautiful daughter Mrs. Wendy has
The best part of doing a project for someone special is the focus on just them while you put your are putting your best expertise into it.
Exquisite cabinet! Treena, you are a magician. Thanks to the daughter for the reverence.
I love to watch you utilise your skills and knowledge and the precision with which you work, you are a true craftswoman and artist which requires you to be imaginative, creative and a true perfectionist ,as they say these days you tick all the boxes, cheers lovely lady !!!
The History that damage reveals, tells a lot of stories about where the woody items have lived?
Preserving the pieces, for another effort at living another life, is a commendable effort.
Wood furniture has many tales to relate if we can listen to them talk.
What a fabulous job on a piece that has so much meaning to Wendy's family. They can look at it and remember her every day. I will say, you sure were into the minutiae of this repair/refinish. You were pointing out teenie weenie, itty-bitty little divots and flaws I don't think anyone else would be able to spot. lol I think this piece must have had a special place in your heart. Not only for its unique style, (you don't see many like this anymore), but for the person it represented. Beautiful all round.
Gorgeous piece 😍😍😍❤❤ May Wendy be smiling down on your awesome work Trina.
Beautiful job.
Beautiful
I know Wendy is thrilled. She loves it and loves you. Beautiful piece.
It was gorgeous before it’s more gorgeous now
Having watched many of your videos, it’s really impressive to me how even though this was for the daughter of your friend that passed the pains and techniques you took and used are the same as it would be for any piece you take on a a project. It speaks volumes to you talent and ability as a master woodworker and refinishing expert. Thank you for sharing with us, who wish we had your eye for color matching and the talent in your little finger for what you do. Looking forward to your next video!!
Thank you
What a lovely comment. You said everything I would have said if I had your gift for words. Thank you!
Trina is meticulous in all of her projects. That is why she is so good at her craft.
@@anitamorales1506 thank you… I need to learn to proofread before I push the send button. Trina’s work is mesmerizing as she turns worn out rickety scarred pieces into beautiful better than new artifacts. Most of her work is done on heirlooms for their owners so I assume they would be artifacts to the owners. Anyway, thank you for your comments !!
@@williamjohnson9288 🙂
I adore Art deco and I am drooling over this fabulous piece. There is a reason that Wendy chose to be your long term customer. You are a master and her daughter will have this to treasure.
Great restore. Wendy would love it. I'm sure her daughter will enjoy it for many years.
I hope so too!
You are now one of my favorite carpenters. You do such incredible work, you are a true master of your craft. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
I loved seeing you work on this lovely piece. My grandma had a very similar cabinet, so it was even more interesting to watch you restore it and bring back the original condition. I'm 77 so it wasn't an antique back in my childhood, just considered old, but still well cared for. You have another success Trena. I'm sure Wendy knows her beloved cabinet has regained it's beauty as she hoped. Best wishes to her family, may it be a treasured memory.
ANOTHER GREAT JOB!!!! GOD BLESS WENDY AND HER FAMILY...
You are keeping her memory around --- you did her proud.
I wish i had your patience!! It has to be rewarding to know you have brought beautiful pieces so unique, never to be made again, back to life and will last so many years!!
Very expensive and gorgeous 🥰 wonderful job! ❤
What a beautiful job you did. Here daughter will now treasure this piece…which she can hand down to the next generation.
WOW!!! Simply Beautiful, Your work Trena is masterful! I'm sure Wendy is smiling lovingly.
Watching you glue that fabric on so smoothly was like watching magic happen. I'm sure if I did it there would be crinkles and bumps everywhere.
It is gorgeous. I'm sure Wendy's looking down from heaven saying" I love it" and" thank you"
You did such a beautiful job on this, Wendy would be so proud. Glad her daughter wanted to continue with the restoration of this beautiful piece.
Beautiful piece ❤️ Thanks for sharing this 💯 ❣️
It’s gorgeous Trena! Truly spectacular. I would expect nothing else. You are truly an artist. I’m sure that Wendy is smiling down on you 🥰😍🇨🇦
Really nice restoration! Love how the toner brings everything into balance.
You work magic with the toners.
We love old furniture - always have. Growing up in an old Victorian era town on economic hard times, our family always seemed to find diamonds in the rough, almost magically when need arose. My mom and I would repair and refinish what became beautiful pieces we cherished. My wife and I continued this over the past 40 years, and I can’t imagine a home without these links to history. Beautiful piece, beautiful story, and a beautiful heart. 🙏🏼🌿🌻
Lovely story
My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Lady Wendy. Great work the restoration is wonderful.
Oh my goodness, absolutely gorgeous. Wendy would be very happy!
I think Wendy would be very pleased with how this turn out. Fantastic job!
Trena you did a beautiful job on that piece of furniture and God be bless you
Very sweet way to say good bye to Wendy. I'm sure her family will appreciate this.
Wendy would have been very pleased ,makes you want to cry its so beautiful.
beautiful story and very emotional
Best tribute to your friend & customer. Rest in Peace Wendy.
You did an outstanding job! Wendy is smiling from above I am sure. Beautiful piece.
Wow what a fantastic restoration! Just amazing. Am sure your friend is smiling down upon you and very pleased with what you did here.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. You absolutely did right by her and for her daughter.
You always do wonderful work so glad you could finish that piece and make it so nice. God bless.
That restoration is a credit to you. Wendy would be proud. I love your toning and woodwork skills. Oh, and your personality.
Thankyou
I LOVE this piece! Even at its saddest it's lines are stunning. Elegant. I believe Wendy is thrilled. Her daughter will totally feel her mother's presence around this exquisite piece. Wonder if you felt Wendy near as you worked on it. You're a magnificent artist and your works will go forward to be enjoyed by generations to come. No higher compliment than that is there? All the very best to you and thanks for sharing this work of the heart.
Thankyou
Wendy would have been thrilled with the results! Beautiful!
This is absolutely beautiful Trena. It so reminds me of my grandfather clock with the same coloring and rounded glass with shelves. I have a tall 7` tall pecan piece with rounded glass side panels and a solid glass front. This gorgeous piece you just did so reminds me of my pieces which I just love and treasure.
Your work and eye for color is beyond the norm......I love it that I ever found your channel a couple years back. I am sure Wendy's daughter will treasure this forever and it is again just absolutely beautiful!
You are amazing and your devotion to your talent and quality of work is a lost thing in most places these days......thank you for treasuring the things are are so priceless to your customers and we viewers!
Blessings
Thankyou so much!
Andersonville, Tennessee here! OMG, this made me cry. So bittersweet...😢
True furniture magic. Thanks for sharing. It always astonishes me how an old piece can be brought to life again this way...
Great work! I was holding breath when ever you were working near or on glass doors ❤ What a great tribute to your friend ❤❤
It is wonderful to see this elegant piece returned to its original glory.
Definitely a piece of furniture that I would gladly give a home, I think it's stunning and that's before you work your magic.
Beautiful restoration and finish! A beautiful way to honor Wendy. Yum on that tomato sauce!
Ahh thats so heart warming Trena sorry for your loss. Rip Wendy. X
Oh my! what a beautiful cabinet, you're such a talented lady. It would be nice to think Wendy approves, how could she not? Thanks for the tips as well...
It is indeed one of the most beautiful pieces from that era that I have ever seen, and I am so glad you were in charge of its restoration. I am sure Wendy would have been thrilled to see it. Thanks, Trena.
What a beautiful memorial to your beloved customer and her family. As always you did a beautiful job 😊
Holy Wowzers! Awesome craftsmanship! You are a great friend to your customers!❤
This is the most incredible piece of Art Deco furniture I have ever seen! Just stunning! ❤️
Another fantastic piece of art. You are amazing!
Bravo you are truly a master crafts person. Mom is in heaven smiling. 😊
What a lovely dedication to Wendy. Anyone who looks at that piece will just be admiring the overall picture and any barely perceptible skillful repairs won't be noticed I'm sure. Or the poppy seeds!
Lol
Wow. That is beautiful. Wendy is smiling in heaven, she knew you could do it. Wendy’s daughter will be over the moon.
You did yourself proud.
Love this piece! Your toning work is absolutely masterful
A wonderful piece of furniture and,a high class job which will extend its life and the the memories for many more years. Thank You.
Gorgeous! To be treasured for generations to come.
There is always beauty hidden by age whether it be furniture or people.
