I was really concerned when you started painting with orange paint but I should have known that you know exactly what you are doing. Another beautiful outcome
Your work always amazes me! Here, in the States, an old, beaten up piece such as this, would be sanded and finished with a colored chalk paint. Your artistry in creating a faux wood finish is what sets you apart. Lovely work!
You would be horrified at how much beautiful oak, walnut,cherry etc that I am asked to paint these days. Awful……. I now clear coat with shellac and then paint their pieces so that when the fashion changes they can recover that beauty more easily.
Watch Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration if you want to see an American who treats antique furniture properly. Putting a faux wood layer of paint on this is hardly different than rattle canning it, it's still covered in paint at the end of the day.
@@yarb2643 This is a piece of cheap pine furniture, and painting faux wood is exactly what they did with them when it was made. Love Thomas John:s videos by the way, watch them again and again.
I've seen many of your videos before but this one just stands out from all the rest. The way you managed to fully match the original paint was incredible and you make it look so easy. We are specialists in original painted furniture so this one really stands out to me. The paint is faux Rosewood and was used on pine in Eastern Europe in the 19th century to make it look like a more expensive piece than it really was. You have inspired me to make a couple of videos here and there!
Wonderful restoration. That cupboard was originally built very well. It was originally probably an expensive piece of furniture. It is great to see it restored in such a professional and pleasing manner.
So beautiful and I am so happy to see you posting again. For me I would have watched the entire process from beginning to end and never been bored. This was by far too short a video. Love your work and can't wait for the next one!
I have to tell you you are one of my favorite furniture restores that I love to watch. There is only one other.. You are amazing and truly care about how your finished project looks. Thank you so much!!!❤❤
And once again firewood becomes fine furniture! It's so entertaining to watch a master restore and rejuvenate classic furniture into basically works of art. Thanks again, as always, for sharing your awesome work with us. Be well, stay safe and God bless. Rev. D.
Never have seen painting/staining/stiff paperboard scraping to create a simulated woodgrain technique in combination before. Believeable result is stunning.
I didn't think this wardrobe looked as though it was worth saving, but after your magic touch it looks lovely. Please don't let us have to wait a month before your next video!
I have asked you this before, but it is quite notable in this video - that little finishing plane that you use on the patches and plugs you had to insert to repair this piece must be kept razor sharp! A plane that is even slightly dull will rip and mar the wood, something i know from experience. Asidefrom being the master of refinishing and repair, you are the master of tool maintenance. Thanks again.
Excellent work! Looking at the original piece i assume it is some kind of softwood that had wood graining effect applied to it, in the same way modern furniture would make use of thin real wood veneers, or in the case of many manufacturers, printed images of real wood. That this traditional techniques has lasted so long is testimony to the quality of the original work. Your ability to match this after over 100 years is testimony to your own skill. Although you have focussed more upon the new techniques this piece provided the opportunity for displaying, you have included sufficient material on your repairs and renewal of the damaged material prior to finishing to remind us how well versed in your profession you are. Not only do you do it well, you make it look easy. As a woodworking teacher of over 25 years experience I can vouch that none of what you have shown is as easy as you make it look. I have enjoyed all your pervious videos and look forward to seeing what else you have to show us in the future. The calm music and lack of constant narration only makes your videos more watchable in my opinion. Proof it is not necessary to maintain a stream of (often) pointless babble just to remind us you are there, like the proverb about empty vessels making the most noise, which some content providers would do well to learn.
I would of never believed this piece of neglected furniture could of ever become beautiful again. You sir are the wood king of all kings. Very impressive. ❤️❤️❤️
That faux wood painting is something else! I love it. You are an artist. You gave the wardrobe just the right amount of update, and it looked original all over again.
I would never have thougth that orange paint and brown on top could result in something so beautiful! This is just another confirmation that you are a true master craftsman!
You are a fabulous artist wood worker. I watch you work these details and I am enthralled. I love how you recreate something old to something new but old still.
Your an artist. I like it what youcan do. About my taste, I will see the wardrobe in a matte colour of charcoal or even black in dtread of faux woor appereance. But your eye for the details and attention payed on is wonderful
Wie wunderschön es ist das du den alten Möbeln ihre wunderbare Ausstrahlung lässt. Ich finde es furchtbar wenn so schöne alte Stücke nachher nicht wieder zu erkennen sind.👏👏
Becareful Ahti, I learnt to never step inside a wardrobe. It ends up going over the edge of a cliff and filling up with water, all the while with The Cure playing "Close To Me". Love how you are able to blend the new with the old, making it indiscernable. Taking a 19th.C. cupboard to new condition.
WOW!!! I am amazed by this one. Never thought to use the oil paint this way to match or even the orange under layer. You do terrific work. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great day
This restoration is absolutely impressive! The attention to detail really brings the 19th-century wardrobe back to life. For anyone interested in vintage solid wood wardrobes, Chuck’s WoodBarn LLC offers some incredible handcrafted options that might pique your interest. Thanks for showcasing such an amazing transformation!
I’m so impressed with how you restored the 19th century storage unit. It turned out so lovely. The way you matched the grain was ingenious. Bravo 👏🏻 Ahti! Another great video. Stay safe. 💕🙏
Encore une magnifique restauration ! Et puis, il est très intéressant, pour le profane que je suis, de découvrir les petites techniques de réparation bois ! Merci
Everyone wake up AT Restoration posted 🎉🎉
This is the most interesting restoration I've ever seen. Fascinating technique with the paintbrush and torn cardboard. A real master at work!
I was really concerned when you started painting with orange paint but I should have known that you know exactly what you are doing. Another beautiful outcome
I was going to comment the same exact thing about the orange paint. It looks amazing!!!!
@@angeltaraila6868 Same here! The end result is outstanding! AT Restoration = Craft plus History :)
Me three.
Same here!! It looks amazing
Today I learned that orange paint plus a bit of cardboard makes ebony wood! 😂 Joking aside, it was remarkable.
Your work always amazes me! Here, in the States, an old, beaten up piece such as this, would be sanded and finished with a colored chalk paint. Your artistry in creating a faux wood finish is what sets you apart. Lovely work!

I think you’re conflating “restoration” and “renovation”
Ce n'est pas qu'un fabuleux travail, mais vous avez respecté l'histoire, la forme et la couleur de l'objet. C'est rare de nos jours. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Entièrement d'accord!
Hay que ser un buen manitas para rescatar lo antiguo, un gran trabajo de delicadeza.
Moi aussi, j'aime beaucoup!
Absolutely jaw-dropping. I still cannot believe I just watched this. 😱😱 You are no restorer my friend, you are an artist 👏👏👏👏

Nothing wrong with old school ways my friend. Your beautiful work here is proof of that. : )
The pieces you find to restore & bring back to what they were meant to be....... absolutely beautiful restoration
Wonderful restoration. That cupboard was originally built very well. It was originally probably an expensive piece of furniture. It is great to see it restored in such a professional and pleasing manner.
My grandfather was a carpenter and marquetry maker. He was born in 1905. He would be happy with the guys now. Thanks for keeping the knowledge.
I’m immensely pleased that these pieces fall into your hands. You do them proud. Love your work.
I always like 👍 your uploads before watching them because I know I'm going to like it
Wonderful work. The cardboard “tool” for the faux finish is a great idea.
So happy you’re safe and able to keep showing us your amazing craftsmanship. You are in a league of your own 🎨 🪵
Fab job replicating the faux wood grain finish with the trusty little scrap of cardboard. well done!
The completed wardrobe is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the video with us. I admire your talent.
Every time I watch one of these videos all I can think of is"the touch of the Master's hand"
It's a true pleasure watching a master work
The faux finish is perfection!!
So beautiful and I am so happy to see you posting again. For me I would have watched the entire process from beginning to end and never been bored. This was by far too short a video. Love your work and can't wait for the next one!

It looks easy because I cut the mistakes out :) I also tried different techniques with graining, but only one seemed right.
Cool technique for the faux bois
Jesuus, you are the best! Amazing!!!
That staining technique is fabulous. Great job!

Thanks Ahti, go on!
splendid faux finish
Потрясающе! У вас золотые руки!
Brilliant technique, wonderful result!
I said wow at least 15 times. You did a great job.
Fantastic! I was especially ticked by the teeny tiny green belt sander at 3:39 … I have never seen such a cute tool!
I love how much you repair gaps & breaks instead of replacing whole pieces.
This is the most interesting restoration I've ever seen
Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
Encore une magnifique restauration ! Et puis, il est très intéressant, pour le profane que je suis, de découvrir les petites techniques de réparation bois ! Merci
I love when one of your videos pop up randomly that I haven’t seen before. You are a fantastic craftsman 👍🏼🇺🇸 👍🏼
I hope you stay safe! Great restoration again.
