AMAZING RESTORATION of Burl Wood Chest | Relaxing Furniture Restoration Video -no spoken words

This chest was almost useless due to broken drawer slides and the finish was badly damaged. Gratefully, the wood was in good condition.
I purchased this chest from the local Restore Store for Habitat for Humanity. It had been marked down to $6.
While I was working on it, a client stopped by to look at the credenza I had finished 2 weeks ago ( my most recent video). She loved the credenza and purchased it. However, when she saw this chest after I had stripped it, she offered to buy it for $350 provided I use Antique Walnut stain to match the credenza. ( I can't help but wonder if she would have wanted to buy it if she saw it before it was stripped!)
I think you will be amazed at the final results! I know I was.
This entire video has no spoken words- only shops sounds.

I love that you restore with just nature making a noise instead of music , thank you❤

[@teresaholt5969]

I love seeing pieces like this be restored. So many people nowadays are into shabby chic and decoupage, and that would do no justice to such a beautiful piece of furniture. Well done. it's stunning ❣️🙏

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

I agree Teresa. I love the look and feel of stained wood. I also love the smell of unfinished raw wood!

[@johnje4285]

I agree

[@lynnlamastres3424]

I love the quiet calmness of this video. No constant talking to interrupt the flow. Thank you.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

I agree Lynn. I try to clearly show what I am doing and then narrate it with the written comments if I think you need additional info. I read all comments so if anyone had any questions about something I did (that was not clear in the video) I can answer them . I too think they are calm and relaxing to make. Furniture refinishing is very Zen to me ! I don't like to speed up the videos because it makes me look frenetic. BUT, sometimes I think it is helpful to see the process in more detail and it is too long so I have to speed it up. If I did not the video's would be over an hour long each!

[@PaintingandExercise]

I love the quiet of the video. No music. Just the sound of rain. Great work on the chest!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks for your comments Sara. I decided to completely change my style based on comments from viewers like you. I am glad you like it. I do too. The only problem is, I cannot listen to music any more when I am working LOL! Worse yet, I have a dance studio in the office next door to me and I have to literally work around their dance class schedule because I don't want their dance music in the background. LOL!

8/11/22. Very nice restoration of that Burl wood 3-drawer chest. I especially appreciate your showing the repairs of 'broken' slide hardware & it's related small wooden glued 'hold-downs'. Project results perfect! Appearance & mechanical sliding action of drawers in 'like-new' condition. Another great job. Also like yur showing all materials/liquids (stripping & bleaching)/rubbing brushes/steel wool/Viva towels/sand papers/stain & boiling distilled white vinegar to restore pulls/knobs/handles etc. Just a complete video on old furniture paint/strip/renew process. Another great job & video 📹 production!👍👍👍🛠😊

[@texanasimmons1761]

BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION!! I would never have thought you could make this pretty without painting it. It looked like it had massive damage to the veneer and finish! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnveglio4433]

I saw one guy on KZbin who refinishes furniture, he has a set of stainless steel dental picks for removing paint and finishes from small areas like the florals on the corners of that piece, seems to work well. Beautiful job again.👍👍👍👍

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks for the tip! I find that using the small wire brushes works great. Watch the video I just posted . It had a LOT of intricate carvings and all I used was the small wire brushes. Here is the link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV6TipaNgtWNZ6c

[@libertygiveme1987]

❤❤❤❤Just LOVELY!!!! As much as I LOVE Chalk Paint, I'm soooooo GLAD you didn't do that to this piece!!!! If you did, no one could see the BEAUTIFUL PATTERN IN THE WOOD!!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Hi Liberty. I too love to chalk paint. However, I only chalk paint furniture that cannot be stained. Sometimes when I strip a piece, there is hidden damage under the paint that has been filled in with massive amounts of wood filler. Therefore, I have no choice but to paint it. The following video is an example of that.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWm2omdsm7p4lZY

Strip it and set in in our shops then let the buyer make the choice if one has a large enough shop. Great job and the client is happy too what a concept and a win win!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Great idea. However, I produce weekly videos so I cannot leave stripped furniture sitting in my workroom until someone agree to buy it and then notify me of the stain they want :-)

[@martemacdougall1985]

The 3 drawer chest is quite MAGNIFICENT! Really has a presence of majesty. Love the feet and the carved columns beside the drawers, the grain on the top is beautiful as well. Lucky lady that now owns this to pair well her credenza. Enjoy your work very much. Do you know what type of wood used in the structure and also in the veneer? Thank you for another great refinishing video. The 2 part wood bleach worked very well.! ❤ 👏

The blood was a gross-out moment but you marched on like a trooper! Speaking of gross, have you ever dealt with worm word holes in wood furniture? I have a 200 year old French armoire that has loads of them and don’t know if it can be salvaged! I feel sick about it. I also noticed several of the same tiny holes on a solid maple bed frame. I’m enjoying being a new subscriber - seeing old beauties brought back to life is a joy.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Yes, the blood WAS a gross out moment. When the video camera is not on, I listen to real detective shows so I can come up with all kinds of different ways that the blood got on there due to a very active imagination! LOL! I have never had to deal with worms holes. I recall seeing a video where he spoke about how he had to kill the worms in the furniture (apparently they were alive and still eating away at the wood) but I do not recall what he did about the holds. I don't think there is any value to keeping the holes so my first inclination would be to fill them in with wood filler. I prefer DAP premium patch.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

With this chest, I knew it had beautiful grain and burl wood so I was not surprised when I stripped the finish. i.e. there was no "reveal" like there has been with other restorations I have done. However, I genuinely enjoyed the process because the finish came off sooooo easy! I was surprised how it just melted off. Even the carved trim was easy to strip. As I said in the video, I wish all furniture was this easy to strip. Thanks so much for watching- I am glad that you appreciated teh results!
