Why was THIS on teak!?

🐾🐾Stunning! Another brilliant renovation. Love the natural wood. Hope shop dog approves🐾

It is so good to see a third generation able to carry on the talent from her grandfather and mom. Love watching you work your magic on each piece you take on.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

It’s from my dad. ❤️

[@ingridpear1882]

That is a lovely design and the nicest teak set I've seen.

[@Seahorse1414]

How wonderful your daughter has learned from her mother and grandfather and how lovely to hear the pride in your voice. Very sweet x

[@davidlittle1012]

When my Dad came back from overseas(WW2) he settled with my Mom in St Catharines .....part of the overseas stipend for returning soldiers was put toward bedroom furniture from Critelli's Fine Furniture there and it is identical to the units you are redoing here ....the little fluted decoration ,the drawer style with rounded bottoms etc ...interesting to see this ....that was back in 1944 ...quite possibly made by the Canadian Furniture Manufacturing Co

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Nice!

[@sharone9751]

My guess is many people had twin beds so a shared night stand would be between the two beds. Love the curved drawer bottoms! Always a joy to watch you and how fun to see your daughter helping out😊

@@2_Trillion_galaxies ​I Actually know couples who sleep apart. Some have separate rooms! They simply don't "get along" in the same bed at night. It's more comfortable to have separate rooms and get together when the mood strikes... if you follow. :) years ago dated someone who ground her teeth at night. We might have stayed together longer if we had separate beds.😉

Absolutely transformed by uncovering the natural beauty of the wood. Well done.

I don't presume to speak for 47k+ subscribers but I'm grateful for the many techniques and tips you and your support team have shared to enrich my restoration and refinishing abilities. If you get a chance in your busy schedule, it would be wonderful to meet those who help with getting the videos published and uploaded. I speculate it's your family and friends, but I think it would be wonderful to see how it all comes together. If I missed it in a previous video, I'm sure I will get it in my subscription feed eventually. Many warm thanks to you and your wonderful family. 😎👍🏻

I'm from Poland. 60+, retired, I discovered a new passion, renovating furniture from the 1960s-1990s. It's a real pleasure to watch you. Unfortunately, the resources you use for renovation are not available to me. I'm trying substitutes. Best regards and I wish you only success.

The restoration you did on this set was stunning. Also stunning was your introduction of you daughter. You just don't look old enough to have children! It is wonderful to see your skills from your father in you passed to your family. I am always enamored of your work.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Oh thank you!

[@jill552]

Beautiful set. The curved drawer bottom is genius. I loved seeing your daughter and her best, Shop Dog.

[@Lulis56]

That turned out beautifully! Most of my furniture is teak (Danish) and I can’t imagine covering it up like that!

Absolutely fantastic work. This has really got me thinking about older furniture. Usually everything for me is light,bright,modern. The skill that you show Trena, Is next level. So glad I found your channel. IMHO I think you have the best furniture restoration channel on KZbin.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@richardrodgers1883]

Another really great job of bringing a piece back to life to live on again for years. But at the 19 to 20 min mark I was at first thinking why doesn't she just use one piece of veneer instead of all the little ones. Then my slow Brain kicked in and I noticed how the grain of wood ran. 😕

[@normafollet7156]

I would liked to have seen thefinished produced all put together. Trena. Other wise another very good finished job as you always do 🎓👍😊

[@suehimmler7435]

Hi, the reason there is one night stand is because the time this style was popular, they had 2 single beds and the night stand was between them. Double beds didn't come about till later. Love watching your magic. Thank you

[@lindaclarke204]

That was STUNNING when you finished it! I love the natural tones of that wood! What an unusual, beautiful set. I got a kick out of the ginormous drawer too!

[@catofthecastle1681]

My parents never had a lot of money, especially with 4 kids 6 years apart! We tinkered with everything but left everything else to the experts! Back in the 60s there were wonderful craftsmen everywhere! What I wouldn’t give to own some of those amazing tools. I go to auctions every month hoping to find gorgeous well made antique tools!

These turned out fantastic Trena. Clear coating did the wood justice. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[@garythomas4914]

I know what you mean about only one nightstand. I also noticed that it was rare that a dining room set had 2 armchairs, supposedly only for the man of the house! how times have changed. That's a great bedroom set, don't ya love how easily that stuff strips? That came out wonderfully

[@edwardmurray4703]

Bravo!!! qnother job done right!!, Ed from CT..

[@kathharper]

Catching up on your projects - this one turned out so nice! I love the trend toward appreciating the natural wood and how much it celebrates the grain that was always there beneath that tinted finish.

[@lpconserv6074]

Going through some of your older videos since I just found your channel and sub'd. Love the teak being allowed to show through!! I am semi-retired living in the Central Philippines and have a few acres. Teak growing on the property as well as several dozen teak saplings we planted. Love that wood. We have a fruit tree here, Jackfruit, that makes really outstanding looking finished wood that also needs only a clear finish. We get 2 or 3 typhoons (hurricanes) annually, and one last year knocked down and uprooted 8 trees, one of them a Jackfruit. I am watching to see how you handled this for clues on how to turn that wood (currently air drying) into something nice around the house! Thanks for taking the time to make your content!

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

welcome and thanks so much for watching!

[@jennah6673]

Always a pleasure to watch your meticulous work and see the transformation of the furniture. A true pleasure as well to hear your love and pride as you speak of your daughter. Those words will stay in her heart always.

It came out so beautifully. The construction of the pieces was amazing and they deserve to look great again.

[@tobiasbostwick9002]

All of the pieces look amazing! But, Miss Trena, the front edge of the Makeup Desk (not sure of it's name) however, brought about a deep sense of refreshment, on a soul level. Like the revival of a drowning victim thought dead. I thought surely, the entire edge would have to be re-veneered. Bravo Madame. Bravo! 👏🏽 And, a pleasure it was, to meet your lovely daughter.

[@johnsfurniturerepair]

Thankyou!

[@milsonfialho2725]

Great at what you do we know and see you fixing the dent with heat always amazes me.

Teak is so incredibly beautiful and sturdy. We had teak decking on the outside decks of my ship, USS Missouri. Using a fire brick and a mixture of bleach and koolaid (yep, the sugary beverage) he deck crew would 'holy stone' the wood until it was white. Sections of the deck on USS Arizona, under water since December 1941, are still in good condition. Your bedroom furniture resto is great.

[@750fvfr]

Another stellar job!

[@RobbieSongwriter]

Always look forward to your videos. So glad you finished it more natural. Gorgeous wood like that should never have been obscured with a dark finish.

Looks like a whole different set of furniture with the grain and colors popping. I have not watched your stuff for a while, and it’s gratifying to see your development.

[@signespencer6887]

Teak is so beautiful. My parents had a lot of teak furniture bought in Denmark in 1960. They only used a linseed oil/turpentine mix on it, hand-rubbed in every few months and it stayed nice always. I think theirs must have been solid teak because every piece was curved and had rounded edges. There were no flat surfaces except the tabletop and sideboard top and even these had curved edges, not right angles.
