    I found this old side table on the side of the road and took it home to give it a new life. I removed the varnish with a scraper and used a combination of dixie belle's walnut stain, natural bees wax and a finish restorer to give this piece of furniture a breath of new life. A brand new brass knob dresses up this piece perfectly.
    Thank you for watching.

    Outstanding! I appreciate your attention to detail. I helped my dear Mother strip and repaint my bookcase headboard and dresser when I was 6, that was 1956. I was hooked. Mother always said it is wise to pay attention to all parts of any piece of furniture - including the underneath and back area. She stressed those areas are necessary for furniture to function and they deserve cleaning and care. When I saw and heard your similar thoughts it was like a hug from my late Mother. In my opinion that speaks volumes about a person - not only related to furniture. Symbolism exists. Nothing superficial here.

      Oh wow, that is very nice to hear. That’s great you have those memories to cherish. I lost my mother when I was 18. She definitely installed some good values in you 👌

    I love the fact that you treat the insides, back and " bottoms 😂" as well. So often I see furniture flippers leaving these out. It just adds to the total look and also extends the life of these non visible parts, often avoiding warping or drying out of the material. I am also focused on the details of everything, so I fully appreciate it when I see this in other people…. it’s a longer turnaround time, but that feeling of a job well done, for personal satisfaction, is very rewarding. 😊

    I love your work! But, may I make a suggestion? Along with all the closeup views of the finished piece, could you also make sure to always provide one good, lingering long view of the whole piece? I found it frustrating to not be able to see the whole thing, to see how it all came together. Frustrated, because I can tell you did a beautiful job! Thanks!!
