This week Trena strips and refinishes a small desk and chair.
Wonderful job. My uncle made a desk 45 years ago for my wife’s parents that is eerily similar to this one. After my mother in law passed we inherited it. It was in really good condition but very dirty. 40 plus years of tung oil accumulation needed to be addressed. After a good cleaning , a light sanding, a refresh of the stain and a couple coats of polyurethane it looks almost as good as yours. I did remake the long drawer over to a drop down front with a slide out tray for the computer keyboard because our old computer desk was falling apart. My wife came up with the idea and I was able to pull it off pretty well. Your talent exceeds mine and I truly enjoy watching your incredible restorations.
My dad had the same type of desk. He told me it was called a "secretary's desk" because it was very small both overall size and especially where your legs would go. He was 6' tall and it was really too small for his size but he loved the craftsmanship it was built with. His desk also had a "modesty" screen so if it was not up against a wall the user still had privacy when sitting down. Also it had carved claw feet.
Trena, after watching a previous video of yours about recovering chairs I recovered my sister in laws dining room set while we visited them in Florida. She was amazed. Actually it gave me something to do while the wife and her gabbed half the day away. Thanks for the lesson.
When I watch you bring these projects back to life it makes me want fix something, your incredible ! 🙂👍❤️
That was great. I can’t wait until more people start appreciating real wood furniture and don’t see classic styles as “old fashioned.” Keep up the great content.
You are the Rembrandt of furniture repair. You never fail to amaze me.
You are the best furniture restorer in the UNIVERSE! Thank you,
The color looks beautiful. Great job.
Another Amazing job well done... What I find astonishing, once again, is your knowledge about wood and what will happen when you sand it and how it will take on stain, how you correct the color, and know the order of operations when you do this step...I can go on and on about how impressive that is; it is not very common to have this knowledge! (I'm a home DIY'er so nobody taught me and I never took classes) But I can tell you are a master... First and foremost you have tremendous skills as a woodworker, furniture repair, and all round craftsman, and then on top of that you also shoot and edit the video! Honestly I don't know how you do it! But I'm glad that you do and can share it with the rest of the world! Thank you so much.
Really nice transformation. Has a much richer look and the hardware is more sophisticated. Great job! Do you get the same reaction from your customers that you do from your subscribers here? You are definitely admired by those of us privy to the process and your hard work.
My husband has a desk like this one from his family. It has a writing pad on top that his dad put polyurethane over it. I showed my husband your finished product. I want to re-finish the desk and a chair he has. The chair has wooden roses on it.
You are a master of your craft. The coloring of this piece is beautiful. And, I finally figured out the new color of your hair... special walnut. It looks as good on you as on the desk 😁
I have to say as a former manufacturing worker you are very productive! NOt only in putting out a great content video, but you are very productive in your shop. My generation was raised to work hard, live quietly, soberly, and love God. It has served me well. In Ecclesiastes, the preacher Solomon says that the joy of the work of one's hands is a gift of God. It seems you really love your gift. I think maybe your customers do as well. Cheers!
I gotta say in a day and age where chic and chalk paint is the norm, it's refreshing to see a piece be refinished to show off the wood and not painted over. Every style has it's place, but to see the wood grain pop like this is refreshing.
The choice of the replacement hardware was spot on! It complements the “lattice work” on the chair back.
What a masterpiece again. I was initially bummed that the customer wanted other hardware. But seeing it in the final piece, I have to admit that it looks great with the new handles.
Oh how I love Georgian and Regency style pieces. What a cute little desk. I bet the owners were chuffed to bits with the end result.
You are such a
Beautiful work as ALWAYS! The knowledge you have about wood, finish’s, joints etc. is amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
your knowledge of coloring your projects is exceptional!
