Your mother may have inherited the table from HER mother -- or even her grandmother! I have a smaller version of this table, without the crystal ball feet. It serves as my bedside table. It came to me through my grandmother, and was her mother's. I love old things that come through generations of women.
The dreaded fish eyes. That sucks. The table is beautiful and I have no doubt you will fix it. The new shop looks wonderful. 10 years from now, the delay will not matter a bit. One of the things I really love about you girl is that you are surprised that people really like you and like to hear you talk. It is charming. You have a terrific week.
Love your commentary, it's very educational. Masters aren't immune from mistakes, they recognize a mistake was made, they understand the what it will take to correct it and go about fixing the mistake. You are a master craftsman. Your work is awesome.
You'll finish it, and it'll be beautiful! We all have 110% faith in you, because we've seen what you can do. I'm sure when you get the top sorted out and back to the customer, they will be over the moon with what you've done.
I love to hear your commentary of what you are doing on the furniture you are working on!! You don't have to not talk on your videos.....we love hearing what you have to say and your voice.....🤩🤩
It is always grand to watch a superb craftswoman and artist 'converse' with the wood given into her care. Sometimes the wood is in a happy mood, sometimes not so much, yet the craftswoman never abandons the artistic conversation. Well done young lady, well done.
Always a joy to watch. I especially liked how you made the gold feet look so original by using the dark glaze. Thank you for sharing your work with us ❤❤
Some of my best memories are working along side my Dad in the garage, if his head was under a hood, so was mine, and I am a female, my brothers couldn''t be bothered.
Ahhh... the holes. Yep! I have encountered that. And it is SO frustrating. But, you have the skills, and the piece will be beautiful in the end. Thanks for sharing! And all the best to your dad, and all of your family. 😁❤️
This is why you are the best restoration person on the planet. Your determination to make every piece perfect. What would be extraordinary for others is ordinary for Trena and what is extraordinary for Trena is impossible for anyone else.
So true! Sometimes I watch others doing refinishes and I say to myself that’s not how Trena would do that….such an amateur! Then I remember that maybe they didn’t have the privilege of a master craftsman walking them through the process like Trena did, and those lessons learned working beside her father were/are priceless and will remain in her heart forever! Sometimes when she’s redoing a piece I just wish I could take a deep breath and inhale all of the aromas going on in that workshop! From a bit of sawdust to the stains and beyond…..
I love all your videos, but I especially love it when you get a beautiful old piece like this table that needs some repairs and a refinish. I always know you'll bring it back to its former glory (as much as possible.)
I've always found repair and restoration highly satisfying, and I'm quite certain you do too; as does also your father. The fact that you're not totally satisfied with the finish on that table shows how committed you are to getting things right.
Trena, still a beautiful job. To be honest, I wouldn't have even noticed the problem you pointed out. It looks like it was new from the factory and that is what I would have seen and been pleased with. As for the comment about wanting from last week, I see where that commenter is coming from. To me, you are the Bob Ross of furniture repair. Hearing you walk through your processes as you do the work really helps. While you may not give happy little trees, you give happy restored furniture.
I love, love, love those ball claw feet. They’re sort of magical to me. How annoying is that top? But I’m sure I’ve seen you deal with it successfully before. I have the utmost faith in your skill. Oooo what is the intriguing round table behind when you were working? I hope you can show that one day. Workshop is huge!! 👏👏❤
It's a beautiful table, worth the frustrations! Don't be too hard on yourself. Easier said than done, eh? You are a perfectionist, which is wonderful but at the same time yes, you can be your own worst enemy. Thanks for being real. The shop is looking so great! Can't wait to see you start making videos with shop dog!
I have one of these, found it on the side of the road. there's also one in the local flower shop, in beautiful condition, which inspires me. I hope to get started on it next spring.
When you were still in my area, (sort of, I live near Grand Bend ON) I always wished I'd brought you my computer desk to refinish. It is actually a drop leaf table that my granddad made in about 1930. I would not trust this table with just anybody because it is just too valuable to me. You do such good work that you can and have made poor quality items look fantastic. Your mom and dad must be so proud, and happy to have you there.
Awesome work, it looks better than new. Don't be frustrated, that doesn't fix anything, taken a deep breath, look onto the nature, a good walk and though about the future is a good way to carryon. Lovely workshop you will have in the near future, I bet you look forward too.
My parents had a table, which they rescued from a dump in Connecticut while visiting family there, and brought home to California, with the exact same cast feet with the glass balls, the bottom part was very similar but the top was round, and sadly, not quarter sawn oak.. A beautiful job as always!! 😊👍
Good timing on this video. I just messed up the finish on a piece I was doing and was mad at myself. The title of your video reminded me that finishes are not sure proof and you can fix it
Hey Trena. Thank you for the shop update! I’m excited for you to get in it. Also last week about the No narration video, it was fine. Feel free to do it again when needed. I figured you had something going on outside of work that left you without the energy or patience to narrate. But I appreciated the video just the same. They are satisfying and leave me feeling accomplished. Which is a comfort to me. Like you with the new shop fiasco, the fire, your health and closing your dad’s shop over the last two years- I’ve been having some struggles too: A cross country move, my husbands cancer diagnosis, doctors, his death, selling a house, dramatic downsizing, another cross country move and landing in an a small apartment has left me feeling a bit lost. So I appreciate your weekly projects and they help me feel inspired to get up and unpack another box or hang another picture. Count me as one of your fan friends and always in your corner!
We like to hear your thought process and we learn from you . I will prob never refinish anything but still love to learn and you have so much to teach :)
What a beautiful little table! You’ll get that finish corrected in no time. Those feet are gorgeous! Isn’t it interesting how the people we follow on YT do seem like long distance friends after a while? We get accustomed to their faces and voices, and we miss them when they’re absent. But an occasional ASMR isn’t a bad thing at all. 😊
Bonjour vous êtes toujours aussi efficace pour la restauration des meubles 🪑 et votre manière de filmer nous permet mieux comprendre 😊et j espère que votre futur atelier sera fini bientôt je vous souhaite une excellente journée 😉❤️🇧🇪
Trena, The shop is looking great and inviting (to be occupied). I'll bet you can't wait to move in. Just a few weeks now. Until then, onward-through the fog.
Me gusta el brillo con quedo la mesa , ya falta poco para mudarse de taller uds es una fenomena en todo sentido ,suerte y siempre pensando para un futuro mejor
Hi Trina, Loved this one! I recently rebuilt and refinished a very similar 1930's tiger oak Barlow spindle leg parlor table. It had been painted, legs were wobbly, amateur repairs throughout, had a 1/4" gap in the top. The spindle legs were a bear to get stripped and sanded to get rid of all the paint. I spent 2 hours on each. Came out great eventually. I paid $5 for it, and donated it back to the same non-profit I bought it from. They sold it in a week for $285. As far as finish, I figured the old shellac that was still deep in the grain would like it best if I went with oil-based stain and varnish. As mentioned before, I do avoid using lacquer. Too much nasty chemistry there. Love the new shop! Be curious to see what you do for dust.
What a lovely little table! And those claw feet are just gorgeous! Now I want that kind of feet for my own furniture 😂 I'm sure you'll get the finish sorted out, and I'd love to see the process of that as well. I'm fairly new to your channel (and furnishing repair in general) and love to see how you figure stuff like that out. I absolutely get what that commenter meant last week, though personally I like videos without talking as well. Those are just like you giving us a little Sunday wave saying hi! Have a lovely week! Anne over in Norway
The table looks amazing! I used to work with a lot of oak, we only filled the grain when we wanted a super even stain. I didn’t really think about contamination. Ugh. I would have expected the stripper and oxalic acid to dissolve (ie clean) everything. (Booo) I like the silence sometimes - very soothing, but I also love to hear what you have to say. It’s always interesting. And your silliness. “Ah pizza!?” 🤪 Thanks as always!!
Could the contamination be from an original hard wax oil finish? I had this happen once and its a bugger to get any new finish to work right. Also, I was surprised to see you use gel stain on the feet , why not antique wax? Is the gel stain a more durable choice and did you lacquer over the feet as well? They turned out so authentically aged. Also I love the addition of the toner halo!! Its just what it needed!! Such a pleasure to watch you work!! Thank you!!
I'm amazed the silicone contamination survived the stripper, sanding and oxalic acid wash. And Trena, please add me to the list of folks who missed hearing your narration last week. It's hard enough having to go a whole week between your narrated videos...
The little oak table looks beautiful but I understand your frustration. I do quilting and have many frustrating moments. I will re due a block two times if it still doesn't suit me I just rember that only God is perfect.
Over the years I have refinished a lot of this a type of oak furniture started trying to use the same finish after a while I change to spar varnish solved the problem 99% of the time
I know you'll fix it Trena. A lovely table and those feet turned out super!! The shop looks great!! Sure would be nice if you could have gone in by Christmas or sooner.....anyhow, soon will happen. I love hearing you chit chat while you work but the music while you worked was nice too.
That table is about to be shown who the Boss is. I am sure you will sort that top out. For the record you blabbing on is part of the charm of your videos, so please blab on !
I emailed that little table regarding our disappointment in it's behavior (which was not easy, it's amazing how many" little oak parlor table" addresses there are). Quite frankly, I'll be surprised to get a response. But you'll fix it (be stern), and it'll be amazing.
Do you use 110v 60hz power? I am sure you can fix the top. It looks good to most people but being the perfectionist you are i know that you won't sleep until it meets with your standards. Excellent job thank you for sharing.👍
Thankyou. I’m waiting for a new service as the house already has a pretty full 200amp panel I could t split it and come to the shop. So we need a new 400 amp service so we can do the house and the shop panel. I run a bunch of different tools with different needs. Were you asking about a certain tool?
looking at the difference in shading the top to a straight finish has made me think. i wish i had learnt to do this when i was working. to be honest i never thought of it :( i am now thinking back to some of the pieces i made over the years and wondering how they may have looked with tinting. oh well to late now i guess.
What a shame. It looks so beautiful too. It's good that you let people see that things don't always go as you'd wish. The foibles of natural things. Unique, just like you. You'll get it right though.
I have to disagree with the 'even the pros fail' part of the title. That's not failure, that 'stuff happens'. As an auto painter/airbrush artist for 20+ years I can say that the only way to call that a fail is if you didn't take the care to do the job properly in the first place. It turned out great! And thank you for sharing this video. Seeing pros encounter problems makes the rest of us not feel as stupid when it happens to us.
Yes, please show how to fix it. I'm having the same problem with my dining room table and I'm having to redo my table. Any input on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!
Well, that is what differ a professional from the rest. A beautiful table, but not done to your standard and therefore redo it. You are a true professional. I have seen a similar table with that flat profile and almost sharp edge, and that table had a stonetop. Is that the correct setup or is this type of table meant to be without that stone? Just curious and i think this is a gorgeous piece of furniture. Thank you for sharing and thanx for the shop tour! Nearly there! :)
I often run into this contamination problem. I sand it flat and add silicone drops to the lacquer. It corrects the problem every time. I never re strip it
@johnsfurniturerepair i order the silicone oil from reynolds advanced materials. It may be different from what you are using. It's also cheaper. In the States, it's around $10.00 a pint vs. $20 plus for a dropper bottle of the fisheye drops. Also called silicone thinner
Ok I looked it up and it looks like silicone oil is the cosmetic grade additive. Fisheye remover is silicone oil. Same stuff. I think I may be dealing with solvent popping🤷🏼♀️

Just shows how dedicated you are to perfection……I’m sure you’ll make it right !!
I like your show. What ever you choose to include is always appreciated.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good thing you're more then a pro. More like a magician
Awe🥰
I love to hear your commentary of what you are doing on the furniture you are working on!! You don't have to not talk on your videos.....we love hearing what you have to say and your voice.....🤩🤩
What a pro. Amazing.❤
She's BACK!!!!! Yay!! How nice of that viewer, I feel the same! You're a special human! Kindness always Shines through. Have a great week!
You're the best! So sweet to say
It is always grand to watch a superb craftswoman and artist 'converse' with the wood given into her care. Sometimes the wood is in a happy mood, sometimes not so much, yet the craftswoman never abandons the artistic conversation. Well done young lady, well done.
Thank trena. Watching this makes us DIY feel better about the vagaries of wood refinishing
The detail work on the table are gorgeous work. But then your work always is. Really gorgeous
Thank you so much!
Always a joy to watch. I especially liked how you made the gold feet look so original by using the dark glaze. Thank you for sharing your work with us ❤❤
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for showing what you meant by the effects of a contaminant. Beautiful piece of furniture.
What is beautiful too is your relationship with our dad.
🥰
Some of my best memories are working along side my Dad in the garage, if his head was under a hood, so was mine, and I am a female, my brothers couldn''t be bothered.
Your new shop looks awesome. I’ve been waiting for the updates and look forward for seeing the first project roll out the shop door.
Thanks 👍I can’t wait either
Trena, it is beautiful. I appreciate you showing us the problem and your willingness to show us what to look for.
we love you talking as you work I'm so happy for you the new shop looks awesome table looks great stay safe and God Bless
Ahhh... the holes.
Yep!
I have encountered that. And it is SO frustrating.
But, you have the skills, and the piece will be beautiful in the end.
Thanks for sharing!
And all the best to your dad, and all of your family.
😁❤️

Oooo what is the intriguing round table behind when you were working? I hope you can show that one day.
Workshop is huge!! 👏👏❤
I love them too. Like little fairy feet🥰that table is actually brand new but had some structural issues. It is pretty neat I agree
Beautiful work thank you Trina ❤
Well, You made great progress. Better than when you started. Thank you, Trena. 👍
Well that’s good I guess lol
Table turned out really nice, the shop looks great!
Thanks for sharing everything on this restoration... the flaws and setbacks! You will make it perfect!
That's the plan!
It's a beautiful table, worth the frustrations! Don't be too hard on yourself. Easier said than done, eh?

Brava Trena, come sempre ottimo lavoro, un caro saluto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋
Thankyou!
You are our very talented friend. We have to have our fix of you to go on. Love your work.
🥰🥰
Very nice work, Trena. I enjoy seeing how you get results.
Thank you so much!
I love aquacoat on open grain wood. Super clear, and smooth. The table is still very nice.
My parents had a table, which they rescued from a dump in Connecticut while visiting family there, and brought home to California, with the exact same cast feet with the glass balls, the bottom part was very similar but the top was round, and sadly, not quarter sawn oak.. A beautiful job as always!! 😊👍
Sensational refinish!!
Incredible thank you for your patience and skill
Thank you! Cheers!
Quel magnifique travail, bon courage pour la suite et merci pour le partage.🙂♥️🇧🇪
Good timing on this video. I just messed up the finish on a piece I was doing and was mad at myself. The title of your video reminded me that finishes are not sure proof and you can fix it
Absolutley. They can be very technical

The table looks really good.
Wow! There's always polyurethane. Just three coats with steel wool between. No? The new shop is so amazing! Thanks for sharing all of this!
Thankyou! I’m not a fan of poly. Too plastic looking🤷🏼♀️
@@johnsfurniturerepair I absolutely knew that. Yea. I just use(d) it because of durability with my kids. 〰✨〰
Trena, The shop is looking great and inviting (to be occupied). I'll bet you can't wait to move in. Just a few weeks now. Until then, onward-through the fog.
So sorry about the contamination...after all that amazing hard work. Your work/skills always are inspirational!
Me gusta el brillo con quedo la mesa , ya falta poco para mudarse de taller uds es una fenomena en todo sentido ,suerte y siempre pensando para un futuro mejor
Beautiful table . Awesome job . Shop is wonderful , you deserve it .
Thank you very much!
Good luck on the final stretch!
My Mom and Grandma each had one of these exact tables, and they did look that bad. Love the glass feet.
I really like that color.
Hi Trina, Loved this one! I recently rebuilt and refinished a very similar 1930's tiger oak Barlow spindle leg parlor table.

Too much nasty chemistry there.
Love the new shop! Be curious to see what you do for dust.
Don’t know who’s more anxious for you to get into the new shop, you or us. 😊 Hope we get to see this table after you’ve fixed the top.
Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉🎉
¡Te felicito por el trabajo que haces!
I like the shadowing effect you did
What a lovely little table! And those claw feet are just gorgeous! Now I want that kind of feet for my own furniture 😂
I'm sure you'll get the finish sorted out, and I'd love to see the process of that as well. I'm fairly new to your channel (and furnishing repair in general) and love to see how you figure stuff like that out.
I absolutely get what that commenter meant last week, though personally I like videos without talking as well. Those are just like you giving us a little Sunday wave saying hi!
Have a lovely week!
Anne over in Norway
Trena, have you devised a way to repair a warped table top? It is one thing I dread. That new shop is gonna be awesome!!!
The table looks amazing! I used to work with a lot of oak, we only filled the grain when we wanted a super even stain. I didn’t really think about contamination. Ugh. I would have expected the stripper and oxalic acid to dissolve (ie clean) everything. (Booo)
I like the silence sometimes - very soothing, but I also love to hear what you have to say. It’s always interesting. And your silliness. “Ah pizza!?” 🤪
Thanks as always!!
Could the contamination be from an original hard wax oil finish? I had this happen once and its a bugger to get any new finish to work right. Also, I was surprised to see you use gel stain on the feet , why not antique wax? Is the gel stain a more durable choice and did you lacquer over the feet as well? They turned out so authentically aged. Also I love the addition of the toner halo!! Its just what it needed!! Such a pleasure to watch you work!! Thank you!!
Thankyou! Yes the gel stain was used as I was planning to lacquer and wax doesn’t allow the lacquer to stick. 😉
Sorry about the contamination, the frustrating fish eyes. But on a good note your new shop is looking awesome.
Thy great restoration.
Good morning Trena, how are you doing
Well this oak table looks beautiful after refinish
From old look to brand new
Very nice! You do fine work! Best wishes.
I'm amazed the silicone contamination survived the stripper, sanding and oxalic acid wash. And Trena, please add me to the list of folks who missed hearing your narration last week. It's hard enough having to go a whole week between your narrated videos...
The little oak table looks beautiful but I understand your frustration. I do quilting and have many frustrating moments. I will re due a block two times if it still doesn't suit me I just rember that only God is perfect.
Really nice work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Good morning beautiful girl another great job💕
Beautiful ❤
Thank you
Over the years I have refinished a lot of this a type of oak furniture started trying to use the same finish after a while I change to spar varnish solved the problem 99% of the time
Why spar? Why not just interior varnish?
I know you'll fix it Trena. A lovely table and those feet turned out super!! The shop looks great!! Sure would be nice if you could have gone in by Christmas or sooner.....anyhow, soon will happen. I love hearing you chit chat while you work but the music while you worked was nice too.
Thankyou!
I've used a puny brush before too!
That table is about to be shown who the Boss is. I am sure you will sort that top out. For the record you blabbing on is part of the charm of your videos, so please blab on !
lol🥰
Amazing 👍🌺❤🌺
What a shame on that finish. Lovely grain to that oak too. Look forward to see how you tackle this.
i had a similar problem- it turned out to be from the silicones used in furniture polish! (this is only a hobby but is fun)
I emailed that little table regarding our disappointment in it's behavior (which was not easy, it's amazing how many" little oak parlor table" addresses there are). Quite frankly, I'll be surprised to get a response. But you'll fix it (be stern), and it'll be amazing.
Sucks when that happens! UGHHHHHH!!! 😢 BUT…seriously is really stunningly Beautiful! ❤
🥰
I wish I could do as well as what you call a fail!
lol well if someone paying for it it has to be perfect. Lol
Do you use 110v 60hz power? I am sure you can fix the top. It looks good to most people but being the perfectionist you are i know that you won't sleep until it meets with your standards. Excellent job thank you for sharing.👍
Thankyou. I’m waiting for a new service as the house already has a pretty full 200amp panel I could t split it and come to the shop. So we need a new 400 amp service so we can do the house and the shop panel. I run a bunch of different tools with different needs. Were you asking about a certain tool?
absolutely gorgeou
Okay this one already scares me! 😵💫
looking at the difference in shading the top to a straight finish has made me think. i wish i had learnt to do this when i was working. to be honest i never thought of it :( i am now thinking back to some of the pieces i made over the years and wondering how they may have looked with tinting. oh well to late now i guess.
Yes it adds a lot to the finish

I’ll include it in next weeks 😉
@johnsfurniturerepair thank you!
Is it my imagination or are you sliming down some? In any case- looking good! 😊😊😊
Hoping Shop Dog will love you, sip wine with you and help you make a new plan for the top
Oh man....what a great pain in the ass job!
lol it sure is!
Well, that is what differ a professional from the rest. A beautiful table, but not done to your standard and therefore redo it. You are a true professional. I have seen a similar table with that flat profile and almost sharp edge, and that table had a stonetop. Is that the correct setup or is this type of table meant to be without that stone? Just curious and i think this is a gorgeous piece of furniture. Thank you for sharing and thanx for the shop tour! Nearly there! :)
Thankyou. The Eastlake tables that these are a copy of, had marble tops. They are much older
I often run into this contamination problem. I sand it flat and add silicone drops to the lacquer. It corrects the problem every time. I never re strip it
Yes I have the fisheye drops added as well unfortunatley it just didn’t do the trick on this one.
@johnsfurniturerepair i order the silicone oil from reynolds advanced materials. It may be different from what you are using. It's also cheaper. In the States, it's around $10.00 a pint vs. $20 plus for a dropper bottle of the fisheye drops. Also called silicone thinner
Hmm. I’m going to look into that. Thankyou!
Ok I looked it up and it looks like silicone oil is the cosmetic grade additive. Fisheye remover is silicone oil. Same stuff. I think I may be dealing with solvent popping🤷🏼♀️
