I love that Australians call solid wood is solid “timber”. It’s so much more descriptive because alone of poorer quality furniture is made of wood but not “timber” thank you. I love your accent. It’s kust like Kath and Kim. ❤ thanks for the help.

Thank you so much for making this video, it really felt like I was taking a class with the way the information was organized (and even the homework assignment at the end lol). But more than that, I learned exactly what I was looking to learn (after three hours of searching!). Thank you!!!

Thankyou for this valuable information Jade! I've just bought your ebook, and am doing a little more learning before officially starting. The challenge for me is choosing the colours of Fusion mineral paint I want to buy first!

I'm the same. Only really have a heart for solid timber. Veneer sometimes looks to good to mess with and presents it's own 'thin material' problems. Laminate just looks cheap and too easy to have peel away from the composite board, which is also cheap, fragile and a little 'beige'. However, your content has become a great inspiration to me to take up a creative artform that i left behind many years ago 😁

Thanks so much Matt, I’m so glad that my content can help give you a little inspiration 😀 We all like a different type of furniture and some people love a good veneer or laminate flips to give it a whole other dimension but I just have trouble going past a solid timber piece 👍

This video is wonderful! It's hard to know what type of furniture piece you have just by looking at it as a regular person with no woodworking experience! I do have a question: Do you ever use chalk paint? What do you think of chalk paint and is it worth using?

So helpful! I have a bedside table with solid timber throughout but a veneer top. I wanted to paint it a new colour but leave the wood on top. But since the top is veneer I’m wondering if that won’t be a good look? It also doesn’t have nice grain like the rest of the solid timber does ☹️

I’m so glad the video was helpful. You can leave the wood veneer on top you just need to be very careful with it. Is it damaged? If it’s still in good condition you can carefully sand the varnish off and then restain and topcoat the timber 👍

Or you can remove the old veneer and add new veneer. Not as hard as most people think.This is preferable to me because, unless the piece is beyond most fixes, painting should be the last choice.

I was SOOO SURE my drawer fronts were solid wood I used the BELT SANDER!!!! Well I did not burn through the veneer, but it was just luck. When I was doing the hand sanding with a higher grit I noticed they were indeed veneer. I looked and looked and I was sure it was solid wood. No harm done but I was shocked. Be careful.
