Resurrecting Beauty: Refinishing a badly damaged teak coffee table

I'm using Mohawk toners and lacquer to try to save this mid century coffee table. This Swedish built designer piece was found in a thrift store in pretty rough shape and despite the stains and scratches, I knew it had potential. I had to order a part for it from the UK so the project overall took longer than expected. While the outcome wasn't *perfect*, I'm quite happy with it, and it lives with us now.

The table, of course, turned out beautiful. I am so sorry that you lost Muffin. Cats bring so much joy, laughter, and fun to our lives, but it’s when you lose them that you realized how much of an integral part of our lives and our hearts that they really are. Deepest sympathies to you and Andrea. I’m going to go give my cats a snuggle.

Give them a snuggle for me too. Thank you so much for the kind words. ❤️

It's not fair that our pets have to pack so much love into such short lives. I hope your good memories bring you comfort as you deal with the worst part of pet parenting. ❤ I just gave my cats an extra snuggle, too.

That was a beautiful restoration - back to factory finish. I'm so sorry to hear Muffin passed away, but I'm sure you gave her the best life. This grief is a small price to pay for all the years of joy that our pets bring us. Thinking of you both, and Nacho.

All of your pieces are stunning! You are gifted and very special.

These furniture is from my home turf 🇸🇪. JO Carlsson and Karl-Erik Ekselius is quite popular over here and prices for a table like this depending on quality is in between 100 to 400 dollars canadian. Chairs is a bit higher but they are in high demand. You made that table high demand! You are so talented, i just love it, and you restored it to its former pristine glory. Good job!

Sorry about Muffin. 13 years with a loving family-a good life. The table is gorgeous. I love the fact that you refinish everything-top, bottom, sides, and on other pieces, inside. Your pieces are getting a second, like-new life. That sets you apart from other refinishers who only attend to the top or outside. And all while educating us on how you do what you do. Thank you.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

You're most welcome Jan. Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I really appreciate that.

So sorry to hear that Lulu Muffin passed. She was a beautiful British shorthair. I recall you saying that Nacho has had some health issues as well; I hope he's doing okay. The coffee table looks great in your living room; I'm always blown away at your ability to make dings and marks disappear. Karl-Erik Ekselius would be very happy to see you bring his piece back to life! Again, my condolences to you, Andrea, and your furry family. Take care.

Nacho actually got some wonderful news back from the vet a couple of weeks ago and he is just fine. Thankfully. Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. ❤️

First of all my heart goes out to you with the loss of Muffin. I lost my cat of 18 years and it truly is like losing a child. I sympathize with you. ❤ The coffee table turned out beautiful!! I absolutely love the Teak grain patterns and color. Your choice to go a bit darker really makes the table a rich, warm feel. It's awesome to find a piece you can fix up for your own use!! Every time you pass by it, you can be proud of what you've accomplished.

The work is perfect as always. You seem to see the real soul of the wood and treat it with such respect. My dad was the same way. We let him go in 2020 and I started refinishing furniture without him for the first time last year. Your channel makes me feel him a little closer sometimes. Of course, love and condolences for the loss of your dear pet. It is so hard to let them go and it always feels too soon. My dad would have sworn he was a dog person, but his constant companion in his scary trip through dementia was his cat Cuddles. She was never the same after his death and she only lasted a little bit longer without him. I hope they're together somewhere out there now.

You are a magician with those markers on that white ring. I'm so sorry about Muffin. Thirteen years is wonderful to give a cat. My condolences.

13 years is a long and from the pictures a happy life. RIP Muffin. Great job on the table too.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for your kind words. They are appreciated. ❤️

[@donnaleveron6511]

Just watched, as a lifelong cat lover, I empathize with the loss of your lovely Muffin, been through this more times than I wanted, but the heart heals to make way for new loves. Over 71 years, it has been quite a few. I also feed strays and ferals in my neighborhood, and miss when one does not report in for treats.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you so much for your kind words. ❤️

[@user-xy1gx3ip1o]

So sorry for the loss of Muffin. That is so sad. They are so adept at hiding any issues you can never know and these things can happen so suddenly. Thank you two for giving her the best life.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

It was our honor to be her guardians. Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@d.e.sommers5179]

So sorry you lost your beautiful British Shorthair, Muffin. They are such wonderful cats! My client has two that I just adore. Two years ago I lost my Hunny (dog) after 15 years together and sympathize with your loss 100%. I will give my two one-year-old cats and extra hug tonight in memory of your lovely Muffin. Hugs to you! Thank you for your fabulous videos. You are very talented (and patient!)

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Please do squeeze them tight! Thank you so much for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated.

[@Objective-Observer]

My condolences on your loss. You gave her 13 years of love and comfort; most cats don't live that long. She faught hard to stay with you, because you did so much for her. You did a great job with her, I hope you can find comfort in that. The table was glorious.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you for your kind words. ❤️

[@cendres60]

[@amieinnovascotia3237]

My condolences. It’s very hard to lose them so young. Another beautiful job and a lovely forever piece.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Thank you very much for your kind words. ❤️

[@nancythomas1954]

I love watching you work and see the beauty of the piece come to life. I am so sorry that Muffin passed on. It is always hard when you lose someone you love. I am 69 and I have had so many fur babies in my life. I was fortunate to have two very special ones live with me for 18 years, I lost them about a year apart. They live large in my memories ;) I have a little two year old now and she brings we so much joy (and frustration lol). I hug for the three of you for your loss. Always remember the good times, that way she can remain close.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Oh we always will. Thank you so much for your kind words Nancy. I really appreciate that.

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Muffin but any animal that lives with you and your wife have wonderful lives. Love to watch you work on wood. Another beautiful piece!!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Our fur babies are an integral part of our lives and we grieve them as such. I know this pain. You gave Muffin a good life and that should be some solace.😥 The table is beautiful. I love this style. Thank you for rescuing it. Looks great in your living room. 💔❤
