Trena, I had to laugh at myself. When you mentioned bow ties, I pictured them maybe 10% of what you used lol. Glad you're soon to have power. There is another Canadian channel I watch. Both of you seem to have to wait an inordinate amount of time for the electric company to show up. Seems that way to someone from the US, anyhow.
Trena, you have the ability to speak to both fine and primitive furniture the same way uniquely gifted people can speak with royalty and paupers and make both feel just as happy.
I REALLY love the primative look of this little chair!! Thank you for preserving it! It deserves to show off the handiwork of the maker AND restorer! Thanks, Trena!❤❤🪑
Hello Trena, firstly merry Christmas to you and your family, what a lovely rustic looking chair, you have done it proud through your restoration and thank you for all the entertaining and educational vids over the years, cheers to you and your tenacity, never say die, much love from Australia xxx🥰😘👍👍🙏🌲
I just loved every second of this repair/restoration, I love love Primitive design. I designed and built almost the exact design of this chair in foot stools for my 4 kids. and Grandson one Christmas. years ago. Talk about "Beefy" those stools will hold well over 600 to ton easy! no fears of them breaking while any of them standing on them for sure. Thanks for sharing and love the new work shop can't wait to see you in action there! God Speed. ECF
It definitely was a weird, difficult year. I am glad it is almost over. Next year will be better, for sure. Dear Trena, I hope you and yours have a wonderful, peaceful and blessed Christmas. May 2025 bring you all the joys you deserve. Big hugs from São Paulo, Brazil.
You DID do some teaching in this video. I had no idea what a bowtie joint was. 100 years from now, whoever has this chair will see that nice surprise on the bottom of the seat and know that it was restored with loving care. This holiday season brings both sadness and joy to me. I lost my best friend of 62 years just before our American Thanksgiving. My daughter will give birth to my granddaughter on December 19th (scheduled c section.) Just a few more days! I hope your holidays are happy and healthy! ❤
My mom was from Prairie River, Saskatchewan. My Grandma used to run the post office there, guessing it was around 100 years ago now. Some of the stories they told me were pretty wild. Want to thank you for your content, have learned quite a few things watching.
Love the simplicity! As always, you have my sincere respect for doing a job the correct way, in contrast to the sadly failed repair attempts others have tried.
Trena, Love from Ireland. XX Yes it has been a weird year watching the rest of the world. Your work ,as always is impeccable, your right hand looks scratched up- mind yourself and I think you should treat yourself to a Christmas manicure, we love to see a trojan warrior working with her bling nails
Oh Trena, what a great video! I like that rustic chair. I thought of a whole story . . . a cozy winter day, wrapped in a blanket with a pile of books on that chair and a cup of tea. Ha. Ha. Ha. I hope you have a blessed Christmas. You certainly have a busy and wonderful few months with your new shop. I am looking very forward to following along. Have a great day.
Love the Shaker look to this stool, and I have always loved butterfly / bowtie inserts, just think they're lovely, even if nobody's really going to see them much. I really need to practice more with my router...
ANOTHER BEAUTY, SWEET TRENA! LOVE PRIMITIVES ALSO HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, JUST SAW A LARGE BEAUTIFUL RUSTIC ORIGINAL BLUE PIE SAFE IN A LOCAL ANTIQUES SHOP! LOOKS LIKE SHOP DOG IS MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT VERY WELL TO HIS NEW HOME. HOPE SANTA IS GOOD TO YOU AND HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!!!
I can picture that little chair in a rustic cabin in the woods covered with snow, sitting next to a big stone fireplace. Love those bow ties! You never cease to amaze me Trena. Merry Christmas to you and yours.🎄
That chair would look so good in a log cabin. Your repairs will mean that it will last for at least a hundred years! I love seeing your place there, it truly is "hushed and white with snow". So beautiful!
Weird isn't the exaaaaact word I would use to describe this year. Beautiful job Trena. I like the simple looking furniture as well. Stay warm. Merry Christmas to you all.
Power for Christmas! What a present! I am very happy for you that the shop is making progress. You can feature any cute, primitive furniture restoration, and I will gladly watch. You are right. Much of the year was rough, but now we can look forward to a new year with videos from your new shop. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Trena, thanks for this one. These repair / problem solving one's are my favorite videos. Love seeing how you take what looks hopeless and use your skill and experience to make it work. Merry Christmas to you, Nessa, and the rest of the Trenafamily.😅
When I look into the craftsmanship of this little chair, I can envision a dad or grandad lovingly shaping this into a one of a kind present for a little girl. Your restoration brought life and usefulness back into it. I am sure the family deeply appreciates your contribution.
Beautiful work as usual Trena. You're looking good so I'm hoping feeling much better these days . Seasons greetings to you and the family all the way from Australia.
I love homemade furniture. You made it look great. This year was pretty good for me overall still alive cant ask for more. To you and yours have a fantastic Christmas. Thank you for sharing.👍
Trena, its been a very hard year for me, with many issues. This time of year especially its a sad time, because on the 21/12/2006, I had lost my husband to stokes. I still miss him so much, as he was my rock and support. BLESSINGS FOR CHRISTMAS, to you and your family. Angela from Australia.
Freehanding the bowties. I'm used to people using templates, but I guess your needs vary so much, you'd spend more time making them than using them. Thanks for the shop update. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a toast to a healthy and prosperous new year.
What a beautiful old primitive back chair. I can see that next to a fireplace as a seat to warm hands and feet in front of the fire. It's good you didn't modernize anything 👍
Not only do your customers get a work of art returned to them but a how it was accomplished video as well. That chair was made and restored with love...
Absolutely stunning! I love chairs; have never seen one as cute as that though. Primitive it may be, but you are consistent in the love and care that you bring to your projects irrespective of their 'value'. A wonderful Christmas present - thank you so much. 😍
¡Christmas is around the corner! Te contaré que en la parte andina de Perú en muchas casas tradicionales de pequeños agricultores o ganaderos aún se pueden encontrar mesas y sillas rústicas, prácticamente sin modificar la forma de las ramas del árbol, solamente pulidos para quitar la aspereza. Crean un ambiente del campo, sencillo y humilde. ¿Cómo que no tuviste mucho que enseñarnos? Aprendí que hay que tener cuidado al diseñar un mueble para que no se quiebre en el futuro, además de las técnicas para la restauración y acabado, también nos mostraste un gusto personal que tienes y de alguna manera te conozco un poquito más, aunque no nos conozcamos personalmente. ¡Cómo disfruto la alegría de Nessa! para ella todo es felicidad es como una niña. ¿Que este año ha sido extraño? Creo que a pesar de lo negativo que pudo traer este año, está en cada uno verlo de una perspectiva que nos ayude a seguir adelante. Estimada amiga Trena espero que te encuentres bien de salud que puedas lograr estabilidad emocional en todos los aspectos que estos días previos a la Navidad sirvan para reflexionar y enmendar para crecer tanto personal como espiritualmente. Si por alguna razón no subes un video antes de Navidad, un gran saludo de esperanza y amor para toda tu familia y también para aquellas personas que te quieren mucho. ¡Feliz Navidad!
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo. No solo es una excepcional ebanista sino que se toma su tiempo para explicar porque hace lo que hace y como lo hace. Trena es una artista que conoce el oficio como pocos. Thanks for sharing and have a good time round Xmas.
Another awesome restoration. Beautiful simplicity in this chair. Love it! On another note, it would be very interesting to see you craft your take on a Roubo Workbench for the new shop. I bet you would create something beautiful. Thanks again for what you do.
Trena, your work is outstanding as always. It has been a strange year for sure. The world is changing by the minute. Merry Christmas to you and your family and to shop dog also. Cheers ❤
I love when the repairs on primitive pieces are showcased! It adds a lot to its story! Also, I'm so stoked for the progress and forthcoming power in your new shop! Merry Christmas!
I like to see that you give the simple pieces the same amount of tlc as all these refined ones. Have a very merry and peaceful christmas and a happy and fruitful new year🤗
Wieder einmal tolle Arbeit an diesem urigen Stuhl👍 Ich wünsche Ihnen, Ihrer Familie und dem Shopdog ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und viel Gesundheit im neuen Jahr🍀

I really dont understand why you dont have at lease 100,000 subscribers. Your channel is great.Merry Christmas to you and your family.!!!!
Awe. Thankyou! I hope too soon🥰
Totally agree!
I got so excited when I saw that chair and then bow ties! As usual, you did not disappoint. Have a great week.
Glad you enjoyed it! Bow ties are always a good idea
Trena, I had to laugh at myself. When you mentioned bow ties, I pictured them maybe 10% of what you used lol. Glad you're soon to have power. There is another Canadian channel I watch.

A 'simple' chair ... riiiiiiight. Nice solution to the splitting. Strong and out of sight. Nicely done!
Charming little chair beautifully saved. Those bowties are very cool.
Trena, you have the ability to speak to both fine and primitive furniture the same way uniquely gifted people can speak with royalty and paupers and make both feel just as happy.
Thankyou!🥰
Weird is the perfect word for 2024. Sums it up 🎄
NIce work. I love the bow ties.
Thanks! They make the piece so unique.
I REALLY love the primative look of this little chair!! Thank you for preserving it! It deserves to show off the handiwork of the maker AND restorer! Thanks, Trena!❤❤🪑

I’m glad or maybe not glad you could relate🥰Merry Christmas
Ottimo lavoro Trena, colgo l'occasione per augurarti un sereno Natale, un abbraccio 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
Thankyou! To you too!

My favorite furniture type would be described as elaborate, but...... I really enjoyed his video. Great workmanship.
Thank you for watching!

Such a darling chair! You did a marvelous job repairing it, as usual. ❤️
Love this. Beautiful repair
I really like the care you show for everything you do 😊💜
Thank you, Trena. 👍
You are very welcome!
I can't agree with Richard any more. Your talents are fantastic.
I like the way those wedges went in ALL the way!
Fajny filmik.
Nawet na prostych mebelkach można się dużo nauczyć.
Dziękuję.
Zdrowia i powodzenia Szanownej Pani życzę.
Yeah for power!! Love the new backdrop too. Way to recycle, reuse.
I really liked seeing the bow ties and wedges. I’m fascinated by different joining techniques
I love them too! It's just so clever.
great piece preserved for generations. Thanks for bringing us along. Happy holidays and better days ahead.
Thanks to you Ms. John !!!!!!!!
Love primitive furniture also!!
A simple chair made elegant. How you always top yourself is amazing. Love your videos❤. Have a wonderful Christmas!

What a wonderful little chair! 🪑 Happy you’re getting power to the shop too. Have a great Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻
Amazing as always, and I love the rustic primitive as well, was a pleasure to see this one.
Makes me hear the song "life in a northern town" in my head❤ what a brilliant treasure!!!!
This chair reminds me of the Stonehenge prop in the movie "This is Spinal Tap". Cool!😁
Love the Shaker look to this stool, and I have always loved butterfly / bowtie inserts, just think they're lovely, even if nobody's really going to see them much. I really need to practice more with my router...
Fine repair, beautiful result. You are so good!
That was some Honest Wood! I loved it! Hope all your wishes for family and friends come true, this Christmas! !
Great use of bow ties. I am so glad that you did not stain them.
Thank you Trena. Most relaxing. :)
