AMAZING RESTORATION of ANTIQUE JACOBEAN BUFFET- Relaxing Furniture Restoration only shop sounds

The previous owner admitted to doing a very poor job in his attempt to paint this 100+ year old Jacobean buffet. He said he never even finished it because he was not pleased with is work. It has been sitting in his attic for over 10 years because he had planned to refinish it. Since he was moving out of state, he decided that now was the time to give up on this project and hand it over to someone else. He actually "interviewed" all potential buyers to ensure they had the skill and time to restore it properly.
After he reviewed some of my videos, he decided that I was the right person to refinish this antique buffet that had been in his family since 1920. He gave it to me (for FREE) with the promise that I will strip it and stain it so the beautiful mahogany wood can be revealed.
This buffet had a LOT of carving on it and unfortunately, he had already painted every bit of it! I patiently stripped every inch of the buffet and was pleased to see that it was in such great shape under the thick coats of paint.
The mahogany is gorgeous!
I think you will be surprised at the final result!

Stunning restoration! I'd be hard-pressed to call most of it "music." Watching an artist at work with only the sounds of a work in progress is very soothing. Not to mention the birds singing! "Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation"

I never get tired to see the chemical magic of the paint stripper.

[@shellydehart8217]

What a gorgeous piece of furniture/buffet. I just don’t understand this new generation wanting to paint over a antique when there’s not one flaw in this buffet. I’ve done over many antiques n I’ve done it pretty much the same way you did this one. Although I noticed you putting on poly with a sponge. I love that idea. You get better coverage. Is this a special sponge? I’m hooked in watching you. I’m a new subscriber as of now. Thank you so much for saving this beauty. ♥️😊👍👍

People lacking knowledge of antiques and how to maintain such incredible wood art pristine usually cover it with paint 🙄 to match the curtains in the living room …. Glad that it was saved and restored !!

[@patriciastrassner4883]

Imo, paint is a nice accent and more appropriate for damaged or poor quality wood. Imo. It just feels as if good wood has a soul and needs to breath and be seen. IMO. respectfully.

[@kathyw7143]

The carvings on the sides in the front look like Easter eggs. It looks gorgeous after you stripped it without a finish..geez I love it!!!

This is a perfect example of why NOT to paint your old wood furniture. The amount of work put into taking off the old paint is incredible. Wonderful refinish.

[@dorothyfreeman6142]

I just found your channel today. Wow what a blessing you are! I started refinishing furniture back in the early 90’s. I’m from New Hampshire and vintage and antique furniture was abundant and cheap as almost all of it had to be refinished. Most of it was covered in sometimes what seemed like 15 layers of paint. No computers or internet back then so I spent my weekends at barns and nobles reading books from furniture masters on how to strip and refinish and bring my pieces back to life. I refinished mine the same way you do except for the car sponge…what a great idea! Then in the early 2000’s shabby and cottage chic hit the seacoast where I lived. I jumped on it and opened a store. No chalk paint back then so once again I spent my weekends at the bookstore reading everything I could get my hands on. I learned to prep and paint like you. I got to know most of the business owners who did this in my area and was shocked to see some of the short cuts in their work. Then came the chalk paint and while everyone else was painting without prepping and waxing I was still prepping and sealing the same way. Several of my business friends thought I was nuts. I charged more and always explained to my customers why. I would never buy painted furniture that was just paint and waxed so I couldn’t do that to anyone else. I also required my vendors to refinish their furniture the same way. I closed up shop in2013 do to a sick family member that needed a lot of care and haven’t painted or refinished anything since then. I’m now in Florida and needed a large cabinet for my now small apartment. That’s how I found you. I had this what appears to be cherry wood tv armoire that must way a thousand pounds! It’s probably 20 years old and I’d say very expensive with great bones but the color is uuuugly. I’m going to paint it white and with discovering all the new paints out there now I was hoping I could skip the prep. I watched hundreds of videos before coming across your channel. So glad I did. Your extensive paint comparisons and applications brought me right back to my senses. There are no short cuts in life. I just can’t thank you enough for sharing your expertise and integrity of the work you do. You are a master at what you do. Your furniture is beautiful! That sweet man was also a wise man that gave you his cherished sideboard. That style of furniture was never one of my favorites as they are always way too dark. I’ve never seen Jacobean in that color. I guess that’s why everyone painted them. But yours is just gorgeous. Thank you again… I’ll be watching every video you put out❤️

Returned to the beautiful piece it was meant to be. That had to be at least in part a labor of love. Bet you knew what you were most likely to end up with. Nice to work on a solid buffet like that with no repair problems. Worth the watch and fantastic job.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks Doc, glad you liked it. I really never know what I am going to find under the paint. It has been my experience that sometimes there has been damaged that was repaired with wood filler OR I may find a lot of scratches that go through the veneer. So no, I had no idea what I was going to end up with. I certainly had my fingers crossed tho and was absolutely shocked when I had finished stripping it and saw that it was gorgeous mahogany in great shape!

[@dochubbell]

​@@FurnitureFlippingForProfit I see your point. This buffet had to be something of a joy to do once you saw you it was a good solid piece and that the paint was not hiding anything awful. Still it is so refreshing to see furniture like this done in it's best light with love. Are you going to sell it? If so if yo.u care to share, around how much are you hoping to get for it, (as in what is is worth)?

[@ob1smom]

It hurts my heart when I see gorgeous wood furniture painted to “update” it. Pine is one thing, but oak, cherry, mahogany- no. In watching you work the white paint on the carving seemed like it was a different type of paint than the blue because it was so much harder to strip. I know the crevices make it tricky, too. Gorgeous work! How many days of work is this? What will you do with this piece now that it is restored? Thanks for sharing this project!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks so much! It took me 3 days to finish. I think you are right that it was a different type of paint on the carving. I had not thought about that- just know if was a pain to remove!!! I agree cherry and mahogany are so beautiful!!!
