  • I found this painted Danish teak mid century desk on the Facebook Marketplace and knew it needed a restoration. In this video, I will do what I can to remove all the paint and restore it to its original look.
    This video is part of the "RUclipss Biggest MCM Challenge" with so many other great creators. Here is the link to the playlist: • RUclips's Biggest MCM ...

    Thanks for watching everyone! I noticed I forgot to add the sanding clips at the end. After cleaning everything with water (allowing it to dry) I sanded the entire piece with 240 grit and cleaned it with a tack cloth. Then I applied the Odie's Oil. - Jamie

      Not quite true, though. Gunnar Tibergaard isn’t a name that’s very sought-after here in Denmark. Maybe other European countries value these kind of mid century teak furnitures higher. In Denmark this would be between 500-650 USD in good condition. Danish people really wants lighter wood like oak and beech. Still a great restoration though.

      @talleysuehohlfeld3959 4 месяца назад +6

      there were two holes in the top, and they looked bad and were crumbly. So, painting it is easier for a layperson than fixing it. And I wonder if those dark marks on the drawer fronts were there before the painting

    • @NatashaEstrada
      @NatashaEstrada 4 месяца назад +4

      Because of the things he discovered under the paint. You have to remember even 10-15years ago there wasn't the wealth of knowledge available that there is now about products and techniques and sometimes ppl do the best they can.

      @@NatashaEstrada Plus, this guy is a dedicated furniture restorer, with a shop and tools and experience. For someone who needed that piece of furniture but had limited skills, painting was probably a wis move. If nothing else, it sealed and protected the wood until it could end up in the custody of someone who wanted to-and was able to-restore it.

    Many people don’t realize that when you Paint a piece of furniture with regular paint you would use on drywall hous interiors especially in wet climates, the likelihood that Rot will ensue under the paint & Mold will grow is strong. As shown by this little Teak floating drawer desk. Another reason I don’t like painted furniture. This was a great restoration of this valuable Mid Century Modern cleaver Teak Floating Drawer Desk. Turned out very pretty . Blessings from Dozer, Butter Bean & me in Garden Ridge Texas❤

    Nice job! The water in the stripper reacting with the original finish is possibly what stained the wood. I had some teak/walnut lamp bases that got wet when they were mostly bare wood and they turned black. Didn't try any oxalic acid on them as they were pretty beat up already.

    I loved watching the restoration. Thanks for checking the lead count. One thing causing the stain may be leaving the stripper on overnight. Many other RUclips restorers take it off within 15 minutes to an hour. But I have never done it so I am guessing. You have top of the line wood and put real effort into the cleaning. It should be fine. I have subscribed.
