- On the surface this one looked to be straightforward but i should know better with vintage furniture. Once you start the process it just snowballs. This is my longest video yet and i really tried to condense it.

This was obviously a lovely piece of furniture to start with, but I didn’t realise how stunning it was until you added your magic David. The wood grain in the veneer is positively nature at its best. The piece has been put together originally by a master craftsman and now it’s just been restored by another master. Your perseverance in getting it right, almost perfect in fact, stands testimony to your integrity and expertise in your field. I know you are far too modest to say anything like this about yourself, but believe it David, you are incredible at doing the right thing with furniture. I love watching your videos, could watch them every day, but I know your life is too busy for that kind of commitment to RUclips. I’ve missed your posts and was starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms again. I was so delighted to see Mayfield Restorations on my feed. It’s not just that you are very good at what you do, I love watching Daisy (maybe not when she’s having a poo) too, and just listening to what you have to say. You are a lovely person and it shines through in your videos. Thank you for sharing this today, it cheered up my miserable weekend. Hope you have a great week ahead and hugs to beautiful Daisy. xxxx
@@lyndseybeaumont7301 What lovely comments, so true and well observed.
Wow Lyndsey. What a kind and beautiful comment. You are very kind and it’s really appreciated just how much you enjoy my videos. Apologies for the Daisy toilet break 😂😂🐶. I did try to protect her modesty. 😂😂. Thanks so much again for your continued support and for taking the time to leave your comments. 😀🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@pamelamason6372 I love Mayfield restorations. I feel like one of David’s groupies hahaha xxx
@@MayfieldRestorations I believe in speaking the truth David. I’m disabled and RUclips is a lot of my pastime and pleasure. Your channel cheers me up when I’ve had a bad day, I’m very grateful for that. Keep on doing what you do so well. xx
@@lyndseybeaumont7301 heard that. fractured my wrist a week ago. gr8 videos!
Personally, I wish more videos would be as DETAILED as this...I find it EXTREMELY interesting how it's all done...🎉 excellent coloring on this!
Thanks so much for your great comment 😀😀
A quality piece of furniture given another hundred years of use because of a sensitive and thorough restoration. Well done!
Thanks so much 😀😀
Desks like this always seemed like magic tricks to me as a child. As an adult, i still find them so charming! Beautiful save❤
I love these desks too 😀😀
Gorgeous result. I like that you didn’t neglect the back of the desk. A special thumbs up to Daisy!!
😀🐶👍
I always get a feeling of comfort when I watch the final reveal. So beautiful. And Daisy makes me smile!
What a lovely comment, thanks so much 😀🐶❤️
The end result is stunning! The natural beauty of the wood definitely shines through. I am in love with old writing desks, and this is absolutely gorgeous. Daisy is such a cutie and a perfect addition to the workshop. 👍🏾❤️
Thanks so much 😀🐶❤️
Gorgeous. Would love to see the reaction of the customer who commissioned the restoration.
😀😀👍
A piece anyone would be proud to own! You and Daisy are always worth watching at any length.
Thanks so much 😀😀🐶❤️
Another piece of family history lives on. I imagine love letters written at this beautiful desk top and the cubbies holding many received cherished notes.
David, you are an artist. Your work feeds my soul and I know your clients feel it, too.
Hi Sue, what a lovely comment as always. Thanks so much for your continued support 😃😃❤️
Like the rest of your fans, I have to say that they are never too long. Breaking it up with Daisy visits I like an intermission that is never intrusive. Beautiful piece of furniture.
Thanks for your continued support Maeve 😀🐶❤️
I love the longer videos. They really show more of the work it takes to get that beautiful result. Great job as usual.
Thanks so much Catherine 😀🐶❤️
So many beautiful pieces like this one wind up in thrift stores because of a few signs of wear and tear. Your work - and the owner's understanding of keeping such a piece as this - gives them new life and a proper place in the home for hears to come!
😀❤️👍
And yet I live in Germany now and furniture like this is very hard to find, no one thrifts it no one trashes it if it’s sold it goes fora bomb,,,,,, so weird how in goes in many countries
I love how we're all normal adults until an animal is involved and then we devolve into baby talk! :D
My grandfather had a desk similar to this one. I can still see him working at it. You’ve done a beautiful job on this one.
😀❤️
That simple restoration is beautiful! I love Daisy's quiver and dance for a cork.
😀🐶👍
I ALWAYS love your projects because you are so "real" while working on them. I have watched a lot of restoration shows over the years and the ones I like the most are hosted by a normal person who does say, "ooops" 😮 once in a while.
So, thanks for bringing such great content each and every time.
PS: Besides, if I want to see Daisy... I've got to watch your videos! 👍🐕
Wow, thank you! What a really great comment and I’m so happy you enjoy my work. You’re very kind 😀🐶❤️
It looks so rich, the color, the color matching with the bead decoration😊 was wonderful, I’m sure your customer will love it
Thanks so much 😀
What a rich, elegant sheen to this old desk! You've done a labor of love to bring this desk back to top condition. I'm always fond of writing desks because I've done so much writing. The owner will spend many hours enjoying this beautiful piece, and maybe writing while appreciating the burled veneer. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
You added years of life and beauty to this piece. Your attention to detail... chefs kiss.
😃❤️
Watched till the end. Didn't skip a bit. What a difference you made😁
Thanks very much John, much appreciated 😃😃👍
What a Sunday afternoon treat. Absolutely stunning restoration and always glad to see the divine Ms. Daisy!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀🐶❤️
You did such a nice job refinishing this desk, it turned out so beautiful! I don't mind the longer videos at all, it makes it more interesting!
😀❤️
Nothing like making more work for yourself 😊! Excellent job, as usual. I'm sure the customer is thrilled. And the picture with Daisy is so sweet.
I know right! My own fault though 😂😂🐶👍
I love longer videos. And this was worth every minute. You’re very good at what you do. Thanks for sharing. ❤️🇺🇸
That’s very kind, thanks so much 😀😀❤️
The Best 45 Minutes and 21 Seconds of My a day! Loved Your Editing and the Montage of You Putting All those Little Bits of Veneer on was Well Executed! Beautifully Restored! Gorgeous Color!
That’s really kind of you to say, thanks so much Robert 😀😀👍
This was quite the job, David. The results of all your hard work has paid off in a beautiful restoration. And hello sweet Daisy girl. I didn't miss a moment of the process
Thanks so much Myra 😀🐶❤️
I hope the owner was thrilled. It looks fabulous!
She was, thanks 😀
No one makes that desk with such style as you do!
That’s a love,y comment, thanks so much 😀❤️
Beautiful! And Daisy, too!!
Thank you! 😊🐶❤️
I love to hear of the friendship and collaboration among artisans! The model shop was a great suggestion!
😃👍👍
Beautiful restoration! The contrast between the rosewood on the insert and the walnut was stunning!
Thank you so much 😀
Pygmalion! From a lovely but flawed gal to a perfectly enchanting and regal lady. Truly handled with care from the inside out. I didnt expect such a stunning, and sturdy transformation. Bravo! Oh, and I love Daisy's musical cue. She's just darling!
Thanks so much 😀🐶❤️
Beautiful end result!! You could have taken shortcuts but you didn't, which showcases your professionalism. Love your videos!
Thanks so much Laurel. Its great yo hear you enjoy my video 😃😃❤️
This beauty takes my breath away!! If i were your customer i would cry tears of joy seeing this restoration!!
That’s so nice Coleen, thanks so much 😀😀❤️
Daisy looks very pleased and proud of your work 😂
What a lovely result. I very much enjoyed watching this video so relaxing and fun. Daisy is so sweet to watch too. Thanks so much.
😀🐶❤️
Lovely job and Daisy is still the star of the show!!!
😀🐶❤️
I love this type of furniture, so I really liked the before and was looking forward to the end result. You surpassed my expectations of how good this piece could look! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you very much!😀😀
Thanks to your amazing knowledge and your incredible skill, you have given new life to a beautiful piece of furniture. It's easy to see why you get so much enjoyment from what you do and long may that continue for you. To get a triple serving of sweet Daisy and your loving interaction with her is heartwarming. God bless you both.
What’s a lovely comment, thanks so much for your support 😀🐶❤️
California here.... you did a BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!
Hi California. 😀❤️🐶
It's all those small details that take so much time. If I owned that piece, I would be so thrilled with the outcome of the attention you give to the details. So very beautiful. ❤
My favorite restoration so far. Beautiful piece. You did an amazing job. I’m sure the customer will be over the moon!
Thats great to hear , thanks so much for your kind comment 😃😃
Wow! David! You brought that tired old desk back to life! It is absolutely beautiful. So is that sweetheart, Daisy.
Thanks so much 😀🐶❤️
You did a wonderful job on this restoration, David! It looks brand new again, but much loved. I know that you client will be thrilled with the results. I didn't mind the extra length of the video at all. In fact, I really liked being able to see more of your work. I enjoy all of your videos, and will be waiting for the next one. Take care!!
Thanks so much for your lovely comments Karen 😀🐶❤️
Wow what a gorgeous piece. Absolutely beautiful work David. Love me some of that adorable Daisy
Thank you so much Tammy 😀🐶❤️
I didn't realize how lovely the grain was until you stripped that old finish off! A bang-up job. Thanks for showing your errors; it makes the rest of us feel better about our disasters.
Glad you liked it, thanks very much 😃😃
That is just beautiful, David! Outstanding work! Your customer must be thrilled. Don’t worry about it being a longer video-the time flies right by. 😊
Thanks so much Marcia 😀🐶❤️
We call this a “secretary” in the states.....beautiful; job well done sir!
I used doll house rope molding to restore a Bombay chest of drawers; soaked it to bend it it worked great!
Its definitely an online shop i'll be keeping in my favourites 😃😃
SO. MANY. REPAIRS!!!! 😆 I couldn’t have made it through all that, so 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 to you.
It looks SO good! That grain!! Awesome job!
Thanks very much 😀😀
great job!! ♥️
😃👍
Thanks very much 😀😀
I'm loving watching this. Your doing a wonderful job. My dad built cabinets for people to put in their kitchen or bathroom. He also put on counter tops and layed flooring. My dad Started taking me to work with him when I was young to protect me from my mom . Right now I'm making new cabinet doors for my house. Prayers 🙏 and Love 💘 From Oklahoma
Thanks so much and it’s so nice to hear your Dad has passed down his skills to you. Take care 😀🐶❤️
Super job! And I love longer detailed videos.
Glad you like them!😀😀
Stunning piece of furniture. Looks absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the long video; it would have been a shame to miss out on seeing each part of the repair and transformation. Very much appreciate your hard work. And oh yes, my favourite saying is " it won't take me long to do that..."🤣
Thanks so much and we all say those famous last words!!! I can't remember ever doing a "Quick" restoration 🤣🤣❤️
Miss Daisy has to be the happiest dog in the world! Her whole body wags!
She is a happy girl and she makes us very happy too, it’s a win win 😀😀🐶❤️
I really like long video, it’s nice to watch an artist like you and Daisy for sure
😀🐶❤️
As usual an impeccable restoration. I wish that I could have been there to witness the owner’s delight and amazement when she/he saw what you had done. Nothing was too much trouble, everything had to be perfect and it was. Your attention to the tiniest detail (as always) shows what a truly talented artist and craftsman you are. The vlog was not too long and I am looking forward to seeing the next one.
Awww Pamela, yet again your lovely comment puts a huge smile on my face. Thanks so much for your continued support 😀🐶❤️
The customer was jumping with joy when she saw the finished product. It turned out beautifully. That was so interesting to watch. You used so many techniques. I learned a lot.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment 😀❤️
A difference between night and day in it now. Turned out beautiful. Well done.
😀❤️
Thanks for your response Dave you must be the only one that I get a response from and I do watch lots of videos similar to yours I do really appreciate your response.
Hi Malc, I really do try to respond to every comment I get which is becoming more difficult I must admit but if someone asks a question or takes the time to leave a thoughtful detailed comment then its the least I can do. Thanks for your support 😃👍👍
I just finished one of these for a customer. It is a lot of work my friend! Great job! 🐝
They are a lot of work but there is just something about these writing bureaus I love. Definitely worth the effort 😀❤️
It's just glowing. Lovely job.
Thank you! 😊
Your work is simply beautiful David / I so look forward to your videos when they come out / Now for Ms Daisy ❤ words cannot describe the joy she brings to watching your videos 🐾🥰🐾 you and your family are so very blessed 😇
I'm guessing from your user name that you love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (I may be wrong) I love all dogs especially any spaniel but i do have a special love of Cockers. Daisy is my 4th Cocker and she is very special. Such a gentle happy heart she has. I'm so pleased you enjoy her as well as my work. Thanks for your support 😃🐶🐶❤️
@@MayfieldRestorations I am Cavalier Obsessed & Love All Spaniels. I have 2 Cavaliers presently but have had a total of 17 🥰 flew across the pond to the UK from CA to pick my present ones daddy for only 36 hours on the ground.
Your Daisy is extremely Cheeky and Beyond Beautiful, her markings are Perfection.
I love that sneak peek of Daisy in your reveal shot!! She’s stunning!!
That’s so nice of you to say. She’s actually a descendent of a Crufts, “Best in Breed” winner. I think she’s beautiful but I am a little biased 😂😂🐶❤️❤️
It must be so satisfying to bring a piece like this into a new life, and it's very satisfying for us to watch you do it.
I love what I do, I'm very lucky 😃😃
OK David. .another gorgeous piece...I'll say it again I sure wish you were here in the U. S. Of course you'd have to bring that cork loving Daisy with you!! Your expertise is simply beyond reproach!! Can't wait for the next video already..
Hahaha your comments are always entertaining Kim. Maybe one day if i get to be a big RUclipsr I'll take my channel on tour to the States and do some restorations over there. Who knows!! 😃😃🐶❤️
lol the writing desks are always the most time consuming...lovely
Yep 😂😂
You've done yourself proud once again David, what a wonderful job!!! 😍
Thank you so much 😃
I always love your videos, whatever length of time. This is a stunning restoration David. Your level of craftsmanship and dedication to each piece of furniture is a joy to watch. It would be a pleasure to write letters and use this beautiful bureau.
Thank you very much!❤️
Omg they look amazing now. Good job done. I just love that daisy.
😀🐶❤️
I remember when I asked my late father, a old time cabinet maker, to make me a filing cabinet from some beautiful Australian red cedar I had found on my travels. I asked for the drawer fronts to be beaded in a similar manner to the piece in this video, never quite knowing how he would do it. His tool collection was not comprehensive. I visited him to see progress on the piece, only to find he had made a moulding plane from scratch. The blade had a fine elegant profile, and was only ever used for this one piece. I still have some leftover moulding for what is my most prized furniture piece.
That’s very cool. Thanks for sharing this with me. Your dad was obviously a talented guy who loved you very much 😀❤️
It is gorgeous! You always do such an excellent job-it is a pleasure to watch every second of your videos. (…and Daisy too! 🥰)
Thank you so much 😀🐶❤️
I thoroughly enjoyed this restoration. It really didn’t seem that long. I think you forget how artistic your craft is. Matching those wood colours is a really fine art. I love watching folk breathe new life into old furniture, it really makes my heart sing. Thank you. I imagine in another century someone will be praising you as the last craftsperson to work on the desk. I hope the owner uses it. I have a similar one from c.1720 that I use as my computer desk. I love mine.
Beautiful work David, I bet your client was very happy! Love your attention to detail, top job!
Thanks matey. I watched your Stag drawers video yesterday and I loved the end results. I’ve always wondered what a Stag piece would look like refinished rather than painted. Beautiful piece 😀👍
David this restoration is brilliant. Your attention to detail really makes this piece shine!
Thanks very much Lisa 😃❤️
Love the longer video. Fantastic job, as always! Your attention to detail is extraordinary, and makes all the difference. Love the burled wood. Give Daisy scratches for me. She's a doll! ❤
Will do, thanks so much for your kind words 😃🐶❤️
Absolutely beautiful result - one very lucky customer!
Thanks very much 😃😃
Beautiful job as always. I love watching the videos and just seeing things brought back to life. Also Daisy is just so adorable.
😀🐶❤️
I love long videos and watching your channel. Daisy is of course a big bonus ❤
❤️😃🐶
It is beautiful! As for the length of the video I love the “mammoth” ones! Great job as usual 👍🏼
Thanks so much, I'm actually surprised how many people enjoy the longer videos. I thought you'd all be asleep half way in 🤣🤣❤️
Beautiful restoration. You and Daisy are a joy to watch.
Thank you so much 😀🐶❤️
One of the most gorgeous restorations I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful!!
That’s really kind of you to say, thanks so much 😀😀👍
Beautiful piece, and Daisy is absolutely adorable!
Thank you! 😊🐶❤️
As always, you work your magic and turn this tired looking piece into something absolutely beautiful. Loved the longer format too, and of course the delightful Daisy. Greetings from Sydney Australia.
Thanks so much Susie, glad you enjoyed the longer video 😀🐶❤️
So very elegant, so beautiful! I love writing desks. Altho you titled this as a 'quick restoration,' it is quite clear that it was a long, perhaps exhaustive project, and took hours, days, weeks or more, but you did an excellent restoration on it! But, didn't it turn out spectacular? Yes!
😀❤️
Yes I do. Glad I found you on Flipping Drawers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much and its great to hear you loved it too. 😃❤️❤️
Beautiful job on this + good to see you and Daisy 🐶 again! 😍
Thanks so much 😀🐶❤️
Such a beautiful piece! I appreciate your meticulous restorations. Well worth the effort.
Thanks so much 😀😀
You did a excellent job on this piece !! The whole furniture is looking absolute amazing, but not a restoration that is making a piece looking "on natural "but did keep its dignities and is back in all its glory !! Thanks for sharing this great restoration !!! Almost forgot to say that Daisy is absolute cute Dog !!!
😀🐶❤️
What an absolutely gorgeous restoration. I mean....gorgeous!
Thats very kind, thanks so much 😃😃
So nice to see a cameo from Birty
Oh boy, that's gorgeous! You're client must do be tickled pink with the finished product!! The time you put into these projects is amazing. Love the feet on this desk. Another excellent job! Thank you.
Thanks so much, glad you liked it 😀😀
Gorgeous transformation! Great work!
Beautiful work! Love seeing Daisy, she is darling!
😀🐶❤️
Looks brand new. Great job - so much attention to detail.
Thanks so much 😀😀
Absolutely stunning!! Well done, Mr. Mayfield.
Thanks very much 😀😀
I so love the Daisy pieces ❤! She's such a beautiful girl, and you are lucky to be her "dad". But a fabulous restoration to the bureau. Thank you David.
I am lucky to have such a lovely furry companion. She makes me laugh every day 😀🐶❤️
I always stay until the end! I love your content.
This beautiful secretary desk was gorgeous after you did your wonderful work of restoring it! You always pay careful attention to the smallest detail and its why I love your channel! Thank you!❤
Thanks for your lovely comments as always, I really appreciate your continued support 😃❤️
That is gorgeous..what beautiful coloured wood and your restoration was as always first class
Thanks so much 😀😀
Love your videos. You teach us a lot in furniture refinishing. This one turned out fantastic. Beautiful piece.
