anytime you say something should have been burned i immediately know it will be a stellar restoration and this was no different. LOL.

Very Nice!

Boy that was a lot of work. Hope your customer appreciates it. That looks lovely. I really learn alot from you Trena. I don't refinish anymore but I still love furniture.

You are the master of color, staining, finishing. anyone who’s ever tried to match or do stain on raw wood like that knows how incredibly hard it is to get it to look even like you do,and you do it every time.

I think the choice to replace the top was spot on. I don't feel like that pine was the original top anyway. Turned out great!

Fast forward to today and the last 3 big pieces (the big floor level drawer (with all the slider repair), the tall 3 pc. with the sad top veneers and the giant 5 or 6 pc set with chairs, all included cabinetry, carpentry and superb finish have elevated you and now highlight you so well.

The table is beautiful now. I couldn't believe the size of the nails almost like railroad spikes 🤣 You really do wonderful work.

[@cps5698]

Of course Trena did an outstanding job on this piece (as usual,) but I would have liked to have seen some dents and mars on the too-new top. One way to achieve this is to take the new wood, scatter some fine gravel on it, stack it in several layers, and drive a car over it! It's easy and quick and gives a truly random pattern of dents.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

lol, i dont think my customer would have appreciate it but yes that would be nice

[@mercoid]

I 👍 your comment but disagree. She did an “honest repair” which is now part of the historical story of the table. The fact that the new wood is not distressed is part of that story and in no way diminishes its beauty. It keeps it honest which is beautiful in itself.

[@mariakleiner9376]

[@williampollman2123]

hello, I volunteer at the seashore trolley museum in Kennebunkport, Maine. Over the years I've been involved with many restorations. When it comes to matching colors, paint and stains. The best way is to go outside and use the natural daylight. Overcast days are best the lighting is balanced. Incandescent lighting such as tungsten, florescent, and L.E.D. changes the actual color by eye sight being used as a sample. We get a perfect match every time. You're doing a great job. Love your work.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks yes natural light is always best cheers

This is a great illustration of the decisions that have to be made in furniture restoration. Your instincts are spot on: this is a functioning piece of furniture, not a piece of art. It was built as a functioning piece of furniture and should be restored to be one. That is the best way to honor the original maker.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

I agree
