    I had an art teacher who had a wonderful quote (sorry, I do not know the author): "A man who works with his hands is a laborer. A man who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. A man who works with his hands, his head and his heart is an artist." I've never forgotten it.....and it describes your work perfectly.....you are an Artist.

    I remember watching this for the first time and, not unlike many of the commenters, being surprised and disappointed by the grey stain on the new veneer.
    This time, however, I’m able to appreciate you taking risks, by experimenting and thinking outside the box. That is precisely why i love your channel above others. Keep doing you and having fun
    P.s. While i still think they grey stain is kind of… off, I also think it catches your eye and makes the piece more interesting. Thank you for your creativity and for so generous lt sharing your growing expertise with us, all the while making it fun. Your work is therapeutic. Wish you well!

    Loved the new veneer pattern it looked so amazing until the stain then I got very disappointed, completely didn’t like the stain choice, it for me ruined that amazing pattern work. Drawers looked amazing! A clearer stain would have made it much more, but just my opinion as an armchair critic.

    Wow. I hated the flagstone stain until I saw the entire piece finished in different lighting. I'm genuinely shocked that it looks excellent. You have great instincts. I'll try to trust the process a little more next time :P

      I mainly wonder how it looks in day-to-day life. In the glamour shot the colors make more sense, but before that they are actually clashing together.

    Old is new again! What a beautiful job. It’s not a dupe, there’s nothing like it out there. Not a restoration, it’s far better than the original. The use of that edge banding was genius! If you sell it let us know your inputs and profit.

    Awesome. The only thing that bothers me is the looks of that greyish stain on the veneer top. It looks much better on the wood. My opinion :) But all-around it is done with such precision and care... Beautiful.

    New subscriber and just watched this video. I actually Love the waterfall/Art Deco furniture!!! 1920’s was Bad but ppl still wanted nice looking furniture. Cheaper built, but Lovely. The veneer Stripes was a fantastic problem solver instead of a whole piece of veneer!!!! I Loved that!!!!! The new colors look so elegant modern!!! Thank you for sharing your talents🌻💙🌻

    We use a towel and a iron on steam when we remove veneer and it works way better than a heat gun for all our resto furniture. The moisture makes for less flaking. Just an idea 💡
