The Ultimate Light Wood Showdown: Wax, Wash, or Pickle?

[@davidgrosvenor6685]

Loved the video. When my wife and I watch videos by other furniture restorers, we cant help but notice that a lot of restorers appear to sand their pieces cosmetically; purely for the sake of the video. You go to great lengths to do things right, we love it. Thank you.

[@RoeRoe123]

I just found you and you're making me binge watch you! 😁

[@debgersh5555]

Lol, when I discovered Angie's channel, I binged for hours, now I'm rewatching videos😁she's just that good

Love how light and airy the piece has become!

[@allisonlopez2012]

Oh man, that 3M stripping pad was crazy, talk about instant gratification!

[@MeNotYou72]

I have a project I have been researching how to do properly and turned to youtube, out of all the furniture restoration channels your videos are top notch. You explain each step, why you’re doing/not doing something, give different products and your experience with each… not to mention the great sound quality and efficiency of information over doing unnecessary shots. I’ve started watching many videos of yours since just to keep learning! Thank you for your hard work you’re great at it!

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you're finding my content helpful!

[@jenniferleach4907]

I love the lightness of the piece it just doesn’t look like the same furniture wow 😮

[@julesoyler4306]

Have admired your work for awhile now, you're very talented! Youre teaching skills are off the chart! I feel like we were in the same head space- just getting ready to do a piece much like the one you did here. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@kimberlythompson1835]

I watched a youtube tutorial were someone (who I won't name 😄) said that you can apply a poly over the wax. I cringed.😬 And I'm surprised to hear that Fusion Paint makes a good color wash. I always assumed that an all in one paint wouldn't work very well. Good to know. And thank you so much for another great tutorial! I love that you go into so much detail and I'm a big fan of voice overs.

[@carolalopez633]

To be honest, there has not been even one piece, that you have converted into a furniture treasure, that I havent liked, but love the ones with more bare wood like this one most! Like that stripper/ 3M stripping pad combination! Will try this on my next dark paint piece, although I am a sanding nearly all fan 😂🤩👍

[@lucp4683]

I like the song at the end because I know that a great reveal is about to come. Never change the song, please.
