- This classic Lane Acclaim table was almost destroyed by a previous refinisher. In this video I refinish it and touch up the previous damage to the veneer. This table was made by Lane Furniture for their Acclaim series.

"And here it is. All finished." Birds immediately burst into chirping
I appreciate that you restore these lovely mid-century pieces to their original look while also leaving evidence of the history of how they have been lived with, and used. The perfection of a flawless finish is less important than honoring the life of this as a real object that has been part of the lives of real people. Nicely done.
Thank you.
As someone who is interested in getting into woodworking and furniture restoration, I greatly appreciate your educational approach to your videos. Your extra effort in discussing the difference in stain types and even refilming a step to show the whole process is such a gift.
This looks a lot like my first few pieces. I appreciate you going back and fixing a sacrificial piece. I'm scared a lot of my first pieces are too-far-gone, but I may go back and try and fix my refinishing mistakes
Our family business, a mall based furniture and gift store, carried a few MCM revival pieces from Lane. Occasionally, some pieces would arrive damaged, and either the shipping company or Lane itself would compensate us for repairs. One professional conservator introduced me to the Mohawk brand of wood and leather fillers and finishes. I learned how to camouflage minor blemishes. It was very satisfying. I never had any problems with their products.
What you started with looks like how my refinishing jobs turned out when I did them. Kind of almost good, but not quite. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. Would do things much differently now. It’s also interesting how you touch up spots to make them become less distracting. Reminds me of what people who restore fine art do. They blend in damage just barely to the point where it doesn’t stand out anymore so it’s not distracting you when you look at it. Nice job.
Funny, Tom Johnson just did the matching coffee table to this one.
Thanks for showing this. As you said, at first glance the original didn't look too bad - until you showed us closer, when we could see the issues. It really looked so much better after your work on it, and something I'm sure the owner will appreciate and enjoy using in their home.
Nice work. Thomas Johnson from Gorham, Maine just did one of these. It looks pretty good!
John did it last week, if I remember right. He kept the finish light. I like the darker stain better.
You truly are an artist. I've picked up so many tips from you. Thanks and please do keep the videos coming.
Love Lane Acclaim. You really have a master’s touch. The table is restored!
I really like the way you gave a bit more details about how and why you do things in this video.
Nice restoration job considering all the problems it had. And a good tip on thinning poly to make it wipe on.
Thanks for sharing this restoration. The finished piece is greatly improved! Cheers!
Another great finish, and, as always, so generous with your tips.
And there's that little spot that is clearly the remnants of a star decal on the border. But as always, Dashner, you make everything work. Good job.
I just started doing a Lane Acclaim nine drawer dresser. You gave me so good tips. Thank you
Although not perfect, still a good job. I love the sound of the sparrows at the background.
The little table came out really nice. It’s interesting to see these tables with false dovetails. Being from the UK I’ve never seen them before.
A new Dashner video on my birthday. Thanks!
Happy Birthday! 🎉🎂
Happy Birthday from one Gemini to another! Mine was on Tuesday.
Happy belated! Mine is today 🎉
I think your time and energy was well worth it on this table. I love it!
Nice video, CRAZY bird soundtrack on this one, they were really acting out! 😂
I really enjoy your videos, they’re really enjoyable and I feel like every time I learn something new whether it’s about a pieces of furniture, stains or how to do different repairs and such. I also had to giggle a bit hearing all the birds in the background of the video because I couldn’t help but think they sounded like they were your adoring fans cheering you on and hyping up how great the piece looked. Cheers!
I love these Lane Acclaim pieces. I’ve always been intrigued by dovetails, and although they’re just veneer they’re still pretty.
I so enjoy your RUclips channel. Your voice is so soothing, it could put someone to sleep. Could I make a suggestion? Please at the end show before and after pictures. Thanks.
Yeah, but also interesting at the same time. I usually save them for bedtime to relax, fall asleep, and rewatch in the morning to catch what I missed.
I love the new look, nice work. The faux dovetails in the veneer had me fooled until your close-up. I am enjoying learning about MCM furniture and typical construction. Thanks for teaching us so much ❤
Thanks for watching.
Looks like I refinished that table the first time :)
The before looks a lot like my afters. 😊 Came out really nice.
That little table made it to the right person! You did a phenomenal job on it and it looked so great afterwards!
Thomas Johnson just did a lane acclaim
It turned out great in the end❤
I love the guitar-pick side tables but I'm still waiting for one(s) that are reasonably priced for the condition. But I am lucky to have two of the step end tables, the small console table and a great find, the cedar chest.
It looks amazing! Very much improved!❤
I was working in a hardware store in the 60s. We sold bulk mineral spirits from a 55 gallon drum. A lot of the buyers were using it for lighting charcoal.
You def goated my g!!!! Dis some a yo finest work of all time tho!!!! Dayum!!!!!
Quite a nice job. I bet the customer was very happy. That Lane Collection was a good looking set. Thomas Johnson just did a cocktail table, which turned out very nice too. Carol from California
It turned out great!
Thanks for the video!
I love these Lane Acclaim pieces. I have the coffee table that goes with your guitar pick table; such a nice collection. Looks great in the "after" pics.
Very nice improvement ✌
Looks great.
Much improved. Nice
Very nice rescue of a handsome piece of furniture. Thanks for sharing.
Well done!
I always enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
Good restoration work. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you.
Beautiful
Looks great dude. You are a legend!
Thank you!
That's a lovely clean refreshment to a nice piece. Do you work in an aviary? The birds are in full throat, there must be a huge gathering. I half expected them to leave their own abstract patterns on the top...
So much better x
That is fabulous ! I've never seen any of that design over here in England - I'd be sure to buy a piece if I saw it though. Thanks for showing us your skills and dedication with everything you do. Take care 🙂
Thank you!
Is there a video of you explaining what stains and tools you use most often?
great save dashner;];];]
At 8:34 you can clearly see a huge dark spot on the top of the table, on the solid wood part of the top. I think you should have tried oxalic acid on that one section to even out the color, then stained it and toned it to match the other pieces. I think it detracts from the final effect.
Sounds like a bird party or fighting in the backgroun
Well done! and Go Gophers!
Lovely job looks like new well done Dashner.
The birds really seemed to like this table! 🎉🎉🎉
Question about the dark stains on top: Why didn’t you try to ameliorate them with paint the way you did the veneer sand-throughs? You did a great job on them.
I have a Lane table to refinish. I like your result! What color of gel stain do you use on the top?
I think he uses General Finish Candelbrite the most. I use that myself and sometimes their antique walnut.
General finishes Candlelite.
7:10 Gel stain is thicker....it's more like a gel.
👍
At the 10:00 minute mark you said to put shellac over the stain, then put a top coat on. Did you need to put the shellac on, what not wait and just put on the top coat? I don't know the difference between shellac and a top coat like polyurethane.
I can't believe you scarified that Lola Bunny sweatshirt
Do you tend to apply gel stain more often after 180g or finer grits?
If you go finer than 180 you won’t get much stain sticking to the wood. I think the stain manufacturer recommends stopping at 150 grit.
I have different taste than you, I like the higher-contrast look!
Did I hear someone say "hot sauce" when the cat came out in the garage? Please tell me the cat's name is Hot Sauce 😅
I came here to ask the same thing...
Third!
9:33 🐱
9:37 Hot sauce? 🤔
I don't understand trying to minimize the two-tone effect. For me, that's the whole point of the piece.
first!
Second 😂
Imagine if you parked this skill and expanded and started a new hobby. Vintage audio restoration or restoring vintage motorcycles. Doing the same thing over and over has to become monotonous.
