REFINISHING mid century elm! CUSTOM STAINING with Odie’s Oil

[@kellybartlett4798]

Once again, absolutely amazing work. May I ask what pads it is that you use to apply stain? TIA.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh yes! Sorry, I forgot to include it in the description - they are 1500 grit Mirka Mirlon pads!

[@kellybartlett4798]

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery thank you so much!! Your work is so amazing

[@janicesnapp2850]

What applicator do you recommend to apply GF gel stain? As well as a liquid oil base MinWax stain?

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

@@janicesnapp2850 other stains I usually use a regular cheap foam brush to apply and a cotton rag or shop towel to remove.

[@cdd4248]

I had the same question -thank you!

[@Tenebarum]

Jaw dropping isn’t even click bait. I’ve been refinishing furniture since I was about 13 and this is the most stunning work I’ve seen. That’s high end, pure class. Your work is exemplary, and you have a wonderful artistic eye. You could see a huge return if you auction those pieces.

[@karenkouns577]

I couldn't agree more. Beautiful artistry. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@GiselePatrice]

I echo your message. She’s so talented, I’m just in awe with her creativity. 💕🌟

[@suecollins3246]

I think auctioning is an excellent idea. Angie showed us a piece axfew videos ago that she said was just sitting in her shop and not selling. But it was _beautiful_ ! She said she priced it at $125. I was gobsmacked. Auctioning might be a good idea - with a reserve, of course.

[@joycependleton4117]

Agreed. Wow! Absolutely WOW!

Amen

[@jilliannbushnell4586]

I love watching furnisher refinishing, but now I can’t watch anyone else. The amazing results, filming style, voice-over. Everything! No-one else even compares to you Angie. Thank you for putting the content you do out ❤

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@lindakurgpold-digitalartis9981]

Wow! That “Up in Smoke” did some amazing things to that elm! Both pieces look great, but the dresser really stands out! 👍

[@aimeem]

The color of the drawer pulls adds so much to it, too. Imagine if they were silver -- it wouldn't look nearly as good.

[@juleswins3]

The finish on the second piece makes that wild and crazy wood grain just leap off of the wood. Very cool!

[@coily8336]

The second dresser has to be my favorite of the pieces I have seen you do!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

It’s also my favourite!

[@peacedove1182]

Up in smoke was a winner!

[@tracylamb903]

You, my dear, are a true artist. The grain is so beautiful on both pieces. And the colors of the stain are fantastic. Congratulations. Wish I could own one of your pieces.

[@deborahmatatall]

Wow! The credenza is beautiful and classic and elegant. The dresser, though, is next-level stunning! I am in love with them both. You are so amazingly good at finding the “soul” of the furniture you revive. Thank you for the double reveal today. Thanks also for the fun extra feature of all the deer.🌸

I'm always so impressed not just by how you flipped the furniture but by the information that you provide in regards to wood and the production of the product and the age. Truly you're an artist and just a delight to watch

The "Up In Smoke" is a unique stain color that came out just gorgeous. I'm going to try it on my own furniture projects. GREAT WORK. Seriously...

[@joeb4142]

Angie the look of the stain on that second piece is literally jaw dropping. Thank you so much for showing us!! I’m not much of one to accumulate many possessions but I know if I owned that one I’d stop and admire it every time I passed by.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You always leave the nicest comments! I've really started to look forward to them. I really appreciate them and I'm so glad you're enjoying my pieces! 😃

[@janaschey2888]

Absolutely beautiful transformations, Angie. I’m so glad you say how long it takes to do things like sanding, etc. The magic of video can set very unrealistic expectations so it’s good to have the frequent reality checks. Thank you for the deer family interlude. I always love the breaks for animals, bunnies and otherwise.

[@kimberlydrake8654]

WOW!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Very Impressed Angie! Two beautiful transformations….just top notch….my father refinished furniture….I mean the no paint kind…stripping….sanding, staining etc….He would get discouraged from time to time because of course you never get paid adequately for the time and patience you put into a piece! I would just say Dad you will never get paid for the love you poured into it….but you have the satisfaction knowing you did a great job and your pieces turn out beautiful🌟🙌🏻 I’m 60 and boy I wish I had him here to teach me…he passed 24 years ago….I worked as a Nurse for 33 years and I have always had a love of old furniture….I still have a lot of pieces he did for my hubby and I when we were first starting out 40 years ago….I cherish them knowing the hard work he put into them❤️ When I hear the passion in your voice when restoring the pieces you do….it reminds me of him. So I’m retired now and I tinker and am enjoying trying my hand at it….thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us every week…I always learn so much😊kim

Both colours are fab but the black (Up In Smoke?) is stunning, due in part to the extraordinary timber grain. Btw, the dresser's drawers are smiling; great choice of handles😁.

Hi, just wanted to say, You belong on HGTV with your outstanding views, craftsmanship and your talented approach to your projects. It would be amazing to see your projects become inserted in the furnishings of homes. May I also ask, can you scrape the tops with veneers and laminates? Love your inspiring videos.Thanks, Steve

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh, thank you so much Steve! To answer your question, yes, I scrape veneer tops all the time! It’s often safer than sanding old finish off them, especially if they are thing. Laminate tops on the other hand can’t be scraped. Only scuff sanded or removed entirely. Thank you so much for watching and the kind words :-)
