# Super Wood Maiden, Outstanding Job Super Teeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!

[@jonrjd912]

No words. You have incredible talent.

[@DylansPen]

Older pieces of furniture have character and the imperfections I think make it a family heirloom.

[@queenbee3647]

That shine was so buttery looking I was dying to touch it! If only.... 😍

[@phillamrock286]

Trena you are a genius. Such perfection- amazing

[@mikepollard6472]

Repeat work is the best recommendation! Another good job. Pure meditation!

[@richardrodgers1883]

Repeat business is proof that you are excellent work. And that is the only type of work that this Lady does.

[@wkjeom]

Amazing job. Just lovely!.

[@RobbieSongwriter]

Can't top Sherryl C's comments. Must add that I've never seen THAT hand rubbed technique before. Looks GREAT! Thanks for sharing this.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@stevepiechock9234]

This turned out beautiful. It is a mark of your perfection.

[@JayCollins2013]

I hope you are paid as much as I think you deserve. Thanks for your great videos

[@GhostlyMonk]

Woah that was insane, I could almost not spot the difference.

[@sammy2840]

Cross cut with a chisel on Walnut? Awesome!

[@Jakeu1701]

I bet you could restore a table from just one leg. Nicely done.

[@jimmyg.comicguy9777]

Hi Trena! Great video!

[@normagrimstad8869]

I love kitty making an appearance in the back corner.

[@jerryharper7347]

Beautiful finished job. You are really skilled and show patience. I enjoy watching you work.

[@johnunger3131]

Very proud of you Trena, good job, love...dad.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks Dad!!

[@dannysaenz9263]

WOW can’t believe it’s the same piece of wood you do such a beautiful job perfection

[@slc1161]

The fact that he brought it back to you to get it added on to speak loudly of the Quality of your work. And that finish, with the memory of your dad doing it, brought tears to my eyes. I hope the customer watches this video and the one on the original work so they can appreciate what it took to fix up their table. And you really should be doing museum piece restoration. You have encyclopedias' worth of knowledge in your head.

[@williamkilpatrick8030]

Nice work Trena.

[@bobpiec]

Very nice match Trena!

[@stevencurran2869]

Beautiful work Trenna!

[@LeeAufdemkampe]

Years ago, when I did repairs in the home, I always carried a few leaf alignment pins in my toolbox. When a customer impressed me with a fix of their own or a new way of doing something, I would award them "The highly coveted, yet rarely awarded Wooden Bullet Award" and gave them one of the pins! I always thought that sharing a laugh with a customer was a great way to have them remember you. Oh, and when I had to match a profile, I used an old card scraper held up to the profile I had to match, then cut, filed and sharpened the shape. I cut away most of the wood with a chisel, just as you did, then finished it off with my new scraper.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Nice!

[@andrewbeckman351]

It's understandable about old tables being not lined up, nowadays i think most big places have storyboards laid out with the holes lining up from table to table

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Ya for sure

[@michaelhenderson5683]

Excellent work again Trina 👏👏👍

[@timbuck2505]

You gave the table a new leaf on life ;)

[@mariakleiner9376]

That was another great video. You are an expert so there is something I think not again. A big praise to you. Greetings from Germany

[@kevincarter3859]

The fact that you are brave and sure enough to make a video without makeup so confidently shows your belief in your own beauty is impressive. Because it is true. you go on! Good work by the way.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

This channel is not about how I look

[@franktadley1810]

That was stretching a point.... beautiful work, as always...

[@scottgm321]

You never cease to amaze me. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for the video.

[@franceshurt3517]

Hi Trena you've done it again you and your work are classic, your vids are the BEST. Cheers!!!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks Frances!

[@mikewright7650]

Oddities in the table leaves make it more of a heirloom the little "mistakes" make it one of a kind and imperfect is............Perfect.

[@bigjarn]

. Excellent addition; someone paid attention to Dad's mentoring. Nice finish method as well.

[@jalechavez6042]

Guauu ..!!..Otro Excelente Trabajo...(another Excelent Job)..Un Abrazo y Beso Lindaaa Amigaa.....

[@dannybradley9346]

Fantastic, as always.

[@thierrylegrain8463]

Bonjour Trena, vraiment magnifique cette table. Du très bon travail, comme vous savez si bien le faire !! Bravo Mademoiselle, amitiés de France. cordialement... Thierry 👏👏👏👏

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@davidschwartz5127]

You may already this from your Dad, but you can use a piece of popular board and make it look exactly like American Walnut when finishing it that dark Ole Time Cabinetmaker taught me when I was his extra hand years ago. I enjoyed your video and subscribed to your channel.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Yes it a good trick. Lol. Cheers!

[@norman4uk]

loved the project Trena, the hand carving was wonderful , a steady hand was needed , well done, , and a beautiful finish as always, Norman in England

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks Norman

[@gillesbrault3689]

Le plaisir de voir l 'Artiste a l'oeuvre merci pour ton grand Coeur.

Great color match.

[@Isabel-belsai]

👏👏👏 You're the best.

[@TheSmokie55]

Trena, your videos are so in-depth. I really enjoy watching your problem solving and skills. Also they are so chill....I love relaxing to the flow of just getting a project finished. Thank You for the content.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou for watching!

[@Beegee1952]

All I can say is - wow! 😘

[@2_Trillion_galaxies]

When people say they want to contribute and make a difference in this world, Trena it's people like yourself that are the perfect roll model by your contribution on keeping precious things precious, thankyou for that, I love the fact you have the old skills as backup for when machines let you down, you are one seriously cool lady 👍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@markthompson4099]

Wow it is awesome to see a women be so interested in fine furniture carpentry. Your skills are amazing. Just WOW.

[@Cradley684]

Great job Trena, be nice for the family to have their Christmas dinner on LOL 😀😀😀😀.

[@johnbernard6666]

All I can say is Wow 👍

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Since I only found your channel recently, I watch one or two older videos after each new one. This was the one that caught my eye. The title worked - grabbed my attention - and I was glad to see it was for a happier reason than I originally thought. I knew it wouldn't be a case of dissatisfaction, but I was afraid some sort of major catastrophe had befallen a piece you'd worked on and they were bringing broken bits to use to reconstruct! Such a precision fit and excellent carving skills made this one a fun watch. But it was the finish that did it for me! Absolutely gorgeous! Nothing beats a hand-rubbed finish for me - nothing compares to the soft gleam. ❤ What a fantastic job! Now, of course, I'm off to watch the original video since, judging by the table, it's going to be right up my alley, style-wise. I enjoy watching all styles and know that every style is beautiful in the right setting, but we all have our favorites. 😊

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou for watching!

[@deelirious]

Just today I was at an exhibit about wood, its importance in the technological human evolution, the innumerable uses and applications how the resource is in danger now... one of the parts had lots of different types of wood, classified by continent, you could touch them, smell them... I've got to see craftmanship with wood and other parts of trees from thousands years ago and very modern ones. It made me think a lot and today watching this video I have more present than ever the relevance of conservation of materials, techniques... It was an amazing job on a beautiful table that can last for years and years

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks so much. I would love to have seen the exhibit

[@billballeza377]

Beautiful work! No,place mats needed, let alone a table cloth!

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

Magnificent! Nice work.

[@angrymedic5742]

I wanted a make joke about switching dowel holes.. but I finished the video. And bought you a coffee for your monday morning. Skills like this are long lost, passion in your work is still here but even harder to find. Please inspire! Its truly a pain in the arse to make this videos, the coffee is the least I could do. I would send you work but I am still able to keep up.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

The is for the coffee!

[@mountaintop0616]

Those curved angles can be tricky at times but Trena didn't have any problems. Another beautiful job.

[@Schnooks83]

I never realized it was an option to make a leaf. What a fabulous job! Can tell it is butter smooth!!!

[@ralphsullender2474]

I don't believe I have ever seen a table leaf fit perfectly. Beautiful job

[@dennishinkle5010]

After your last video of sharpening chisels you told me that you were going to buy some new chisels and you did. I got some also and have them so sharp I can shave with them. The leaf looks great and the carving was terrific. Great video. Thank you.👍👍

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@vincentjansson9167]

Dang, you're good. Amazing. You don't just fix things, you create art.

[@chicagorandy]

What can one say? Simply stunning craftsmanship - all your projects are works of art. Thanks for sharing these peeks into the amazing world of your woodworking.

[@Seahorse1414]

We are running out of adjectives to describe what truly beautiful work you . I am going to just wait until you have lots of comments and just say....ditto !

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol

[@jimmymurray2996]

NEW Chisels!!! Yea!!! Great job Trena.

[@janicecarr-jolkowski6537]

You are absolutely wonderful ❤️

[@maitajack]

Great work. Thank you for mentioning Lee Valley in your video. They are Canadian, they sale first quality tools only and in top of everything they give excellent service.

[@jameshasselbrack8412]

Way cool! Great job!

[@scottcummings1882]

Trena love your channel and love your work!

[@catfishmudflap]

This is amazing.

[@trep53]

Trena is amazing. Your hand cut leaf looks better than the two originals. You are an artist with the finish. Old tables have character but are not very robust. New manufactured tables are robust but without character, well maybe after 50 years of use they may gain character.

[@malcolmchadwick4047]

Love this and the colour matching brilliant. You are an inspiration.

[@marydalton5752]

Well done! Beautiful!

[@milsonfialho2725]

Bowing to you/your work and I don't know if I ever will get up.

[@blastingweevil2968]

very very skilled at what seems all aspects of woodworking and furniture making !! nice job.

[@CindyWin]

I think hand carving was the best decision you took. As usual, enjoyed your work thoroughly.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@CoZmicShReddeR]

Looks great!

[@sherryBLUE735]

You have a unique and beautiful talent.

[@jermiester7772]

What an awesome workshop!

[@redzed40]

Another great job, didn't know you had a shop lion 😺

[@redhawk4859]

Great Job

[@GrenPara]

Excellent video, thanks for making it. Table to dark for my liking but everyone has their own tastes.

[@galas455]

Nicely done Trina.

[@ChaChaLaguna]

This table is so. Beautiful. Your work is beyond anything I have ever seen or imagine

[@DavidDeelLoco]

WHAT? I don't have the right router bit, I'll just hand carve it, TO PERFECTION. Like it's nothing! Such fine work!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Lol

[@MrRonfrank]

I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you.

[@badgergearcompound7667]

To be an apprentice in your shop would be such an opportunity. Your attention to detail is an attribute that most have forgotten. I learn so much with every new video. Cheers PS I am a little behind. Lol

[@BruceBoschek]

Oh, this comes just at the moment that we have been thinking about a new leaf for our 150 year old dining table. It is 5 ft wide and can be extended to 20 feet. One of the leaves was attacked by worms many years ago and is basically useless. I have been thinking about making a leaf as I have a router bit that will do quite well, but the leaves are nearly 2 ft wide and I would have glue up at least 2 boards and I don't have a planer, etc. I would love to have you do it, in case you are planning on coming to Europe some time in the future! :-) Thanks for another great video. Making that profile by hand is truly a work of art. Best wishes to you. We never miss a video.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks!

[@arthilliker3721]

BEAUTIFUL job !! Just getting back to learn more from your excellent work !! I've been busy building Wishing Wells !! From 7' tall to 21" tall ! Seems to be a good market for them ! I'm in NC and a guy drove from CT to purchase one of my Wells !! I'm getting customers from 75 miles away also ! I'm really enjoying this ride for sure !! Now that Winter is ready to visit us here in NC I'll be moving inside my shop to hibernate with some furniture restoration !! I have a few OLD vanities and an OLD crank up phonograph to restore !! Can't wait to dig into these projects ....plus ... I NEED THE ROOM in my little shop !! LOL !! Thank you so much for all the time, work and effort you put into these videos to help us learn all your secrets of the trade !! Have an AWESOME Holiday Season !!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thanks you too!

[@keithmiller6583]

WOW!! Is there anything you cannot do?!! Simply beautiful!!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou

[@bethcrane5780]

Beautiful beautiful work. And I wanna see the rocking horse job! Thanks Trena for bringing us along.

[@samsam3499]

I'm a luthier and from time to time I have to do custom shapes such as replacing finger boards. My method of copying shapes is to use a card scraper from lee valley, not the thin ones. I trace the shapes onto the card scraper and using a dremiel tool, cut out the shape I want. I then put an angle on one side (very carefully) and add a burr. Using chisels, I bring it down to size, using the scraper as a template and the end job is to use the scraper as a scraper to finish the final shape. Hope you can understand my explanation. As a former Windsor resident keep up the good work. (I hope you have air conditioning in your shop).

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Yes I have seen that method although I’ve never tried it yet. Thankyou!

[@pattio.656]

I am Amazed🤩👍🏼
