AMAZING RESTORATION OF AN UGLY ANTIQUE SIDE TABLE using French Polish Finish | Furniture Restoration

[@georginabarratt3992]

I was very lucky as my grandfather taught me how to French polish. He had been a headmaster before he retired so he could teach. The wad of material that you apply the polish is called a rubber by the way. The first thing I polished on my own was a burr walnut veneered pie crust table. Like you I have no idea how many coats but it looked like it had a piece of glass over it. It was amazing until my dad put his glass of gin and tonic on it. Shellac dissolves in alcohol. So I had a lovely ring on the table. Took it all off and used varnish. That piece is beautiful and I hope you keep up with the French polishing, it brings wood to life.

Thanks Virginia. Part of the fun of refinishing furniture is the hunt! i.e. finding it!

[@Laura_Brock]

Two thumbs up! What a beautiful transformation! I heard about French Polish from a friend 30 years ago, but had no frame of reference before seeing your video. Thank you for the great instructional format, and. Kudis for sharing this project. Kudos!!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you! Glad you found it informative!

[@lisachiboroski9930]

FANTASTIC!!!💖💖💖💖💖

[@jimellison3358]

It is so nice to see a piece of furniture made of solid wood not press board, you did a wonderful job on this peace.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

I agree Jim. I guess that Johnson Furniture is a pretty high end brand. It is obviously well made.

[@lindahedley9049]

That wood is stunning, you did an amazing job.

[@eileenball39]

Just beautiful, loved seeing French Polish. Even the birds (in background audio) approve

[@lfuentes4098]

Great save. You definitely took this from trash to treasure!

[@barryschleter7943]

KZbin, You outdone yourself this time. More ads in this time frame than Free to air TV.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

This was a longer video than I usually do so apparently KZbin could squeeze in more ads. Thanks for watching!!

[@-TheOracle-]

I actually love that you take something that is not that important, when it comes to furniture, and make it that important. That turned out wonderful and worthy to own!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks so much. What a lovely comment!

[@Slightly_Classy]

Incredible work! You should be very proud of what you did to salvage this beauty!

[@ginamaria2579]

Thank you so much!

[@teresabastien7703]

Wonderful, beautiful work.

[@jeanettenorman7052]

I really enjoy seeing your prep work. It is very hard to instill this ethos into people. 95% of your effort is in the planning and preparation and the balance a mear 5% is the fun stuff. Welcome to live.

[@MauricioGoncalves.]

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

[@chandarussell]

Lovely piece. I do adore mahogany.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Me too!

[@robertrice9112]

I have two of these style end tables that I got from my sister in law refinished and in our living room! Ours have fluted doors that cover that bottom opening!

[@staceyloke9872]

classic, elegant and breathtaking restoration. brava

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lindafarner9755]

Stunning….well done

[@1953lili]

Fantastic job! The “jewelry” (drawer pull) shined up beautifully and the inlaid detail on the drawer is perfect. The French polish technique....magnifique!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you very much!

[@1953lili]

It’s very satisfying to do, I’m sure and watch you save this 💎 and transform it!

[@ob1smom]

What a beautiful restoration! Thanks for sharing this French polish method. Another thing I learned was to hold the finishing nails in needle nose until they’re set. Thanks!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you!

[@arlenelamont5610]

I think I'd call this your miracle piece. Could not even begin to imagine the end result. But you could see its beauty through all the damage and neglect.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks Arlene. I was pretty pleased with the final result!

[@user-ep9lh8fl7q]

Another Stunner!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

[@kayhenry6293]

Another amazing transformation! That finish is to die for. I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve for your next project.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

You will have to wait and see!! LOL!

[@1954JDR]

This piece is absolutely beautiful.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Gorgeous restoration. Learnt a lot from your French polishing.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

[@andrearoth2669]

Sooo beautiful 😍 ❤ 💖 ty 4sharing

[@Woodden]

Outstanding work

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks so much!

[@wholefoodplantbasedmama5398]

I like that saw!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

OMG! I do too! I just could NOT believe that it actually vacuumed up all the dust. It really was not very loud either. I did not even have to turn down the volume on the clips when I was using it. I always have to turn down the volume when I am sanding. The company just increased the discount another 10% so if you are interested it getting one, now is the time. The Dewalt version is $650.

[@paulcarlachapman628]

Amazing! Thanks for letting us get a leek at another great furniture refinishing!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thompson1374]

I looked. Nope and I’d never get to see it. :-(

[@ricjamil3073]

It looks great and you did rescue this gorgeous piece.

[@sophiachristo7546]

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! The top coating you chose for this piece was so time-consuming!... but the result is so professional! You have so much love and patience for the piece you are working on that takes your restorations- transformations to a very high level! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@willieckaslike]

An EXCELLENT restoration, with a beautiful result. Thank you for sharing !

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Glad you liked it!

[@libertygiveme1987]

WOW, you did an AMAZING JOB ON THIS PIECE!!!! Me, I don't have the patience! I've worked on some crummy wood, but NEVER ANYTHING as damaged as this was!!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you very much! The French Polish did take a LONG time compared to polyurethane. But, now I can say that I know how to do it :-) Mark that off my bucket list.

[@lindahensley4161]

Beautiful work. You should be very proud

[@markwalker8868]

That's a telephone table from the 1920s the shelf below the drawer is for the phone book to store it and the drawer is for paper and pens for messages...good design actually. Amazing restoration.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

My mentor Tom kept telling me that but I did not believe him. LOL! I thought he was joking! The nightstand by this company with the same drawer front is selling for $795 on the internet.

Thank you!

[@petervandermolen9835]

Like the result, good color combination. French polish is still rather matte but even. Always a choice between this stage and working it to a real deep high gloss.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks Peter- I prefer a matte/satin finish because I think it shows off the grain more. When you have a high gloss finish the reflective surface hides some of the grain. Thanks so much for your comments!

Well done! Beautiful! I can imagine our cat sleeping in the opening. Thanks for sharing

[@magicgordo4878]

Not a great idea if kitty does what kitties do when marking turf. Cat pee will partially dissolve shellac. The better finish would be epoxy or boat bottom paint.

[@jeanine6492]

Very nice job indeed!
