Another triumph. This dowdy desk, after your great skill, has become a beautiful and desirable piece of furniture. Your artistic flair and detailed and flawless manual restoration make you one of the best that I have seen on KZbin (and I have seen a lot). Thank you for giving us our Daisy fix. What a gorgeous dog who clearly adores you and dogs are great judges of character.

Love the mix of flat swan and quarter sawn oak in that piece. The original maker knew what he was doing. I really like the two-tone and would never have thought of it myself. It really highlights the grain. Great job and glad I found your channel!

[@jiraakarasena6031]

I really like it when you clean the piece totally before you start restoring it! Feel really good! 🥰 the others don’t seem to care so much about cleanliness. It feels like you dress up after digging in the garden without taking a shower first! Thank you so much for every wonderful job you have done! 🙏🏽

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Thanks so much for appreciating my work. It means a lot 😀😀

[@lauralake7430]

I've refinished a few oak writing desks from that era. They are such lovely pieces. I always wonder, in that age where people really wrote letters, especially through world war II, what those desks quietly witnessed. Thank goodness this one's family came to it's senses and sent it to you for rescue! The oak grain always seems to have been obscured in that era, and I speculate that oak was considered a utilitarian wood then, being more available than it is now. Really a lovely job on this little desk. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Hi Laura. I've thought the very same thing!! A lot of the furniture i work on has seen at least one war and who knows what else. These pieces were made to last and its only right that I try to prolong that eventful life in any way i can. 😀😀

Lovely work as usual. Not so keen on the dark finish on the top and frame but I like it on the handles and decorations. These are such useful pieces of furniture and so well sized for smaller rooms. Ideal for working from home too- you can lift up the lid at ‘home-time’ and leave work for the day.

My Grandfather had a writing bureau very similar to the one you restored. It passed to my father when he died in 1980. Then my father passed away in 2011 and my mother decided to keep it for herself. This year mum passed away and as I have been sorting through her belongings, I have wondered what to do with the bureau. After watching your restoration, I have decided to find someone to restore it for me here in Australia. Thanks for showing the finished result. Hopefully I can resurrect my grandfather's beloved bureau to keep it in the family as an heirloom.

Beautiful job! One question, what was your reasoning for placing the cubbies on the desk surface vs how they were placed originally? Just curious, no criticism intended. I envy you Daisy! She’s beautiful! I have a 170 pound Great Dane… not so nice on the lap! But much loved.

[@MayfieldRestorations]

Hi, I love a Great Dane and Daisy actually plays with one when I take her to the park. The reason for the dividers is that 99% of the bureaus I’ve done have them installed at the bottom and because of the way they were fixed at the top and some small nail holes in the bottom, I’m pretty sure they were originally installed at the bottom. It also ensured a more secure fixing. 😀😀👍🐶

Really beautiful restoration. I'm a professional painter and I would recommend upgrading your sprayer if you plan on spraying the finishes. It certainly looks great sprayed vs brushing but as someone with a trained eye I can still spot the difference between a lower end and higher end sprayed finish during your close ups in the reveal. Sounds like you're still fairly new so its not my intent to criticize, but rather to help you make those small improvements that really make a difference.
