what I like most is that you did not rip the damaged mahogany veneer from the table top and replaced it. Now you can see the repair but since it is done in such professional way it adds value to the table. I like old furniture more, if it is not overrestored and then virtually looks like new. I really believe you rescued this table. thanks from Germany for uploading this video.
I am fascinated with your videos and thank you for them. This one seems to be missing reassembling, stain matching, brass work, etc. wish you could re-edit to include those parts.
hope you dont mind unsolicited advice. You can use a household iron on the old veneer and it will separate very easily as it melts the old scotch type glue. Also when cutting a new piece of veneer always overlap it with the old veneer to be joined and cut both at the same time and undercut the straight edge . this way both mating edges will match perfectly with no gaps.
I tried the iron on my antique sewing machine case and it did not work. I even tried steaming it but it did nothing. I want to save as much of the veneer as possible.
I have this same table i started disassembling and cleaning over 10 years ago. If i remember correctly it just need the old shellac cleaned off. I need to dig it out of the corner of the basement and finish it.
Very interesting. You got my attention. I'm going to try this on a lesser quality furniture item; might be worth a shot instead of tossing it in the rubbish bin. What kind of glue do you use? Any particular TH-cam videos, for post-veneer repair staining and finishing [for best wood grain/color match], you might recommend? Also, can you recommend an online source from which to buy mahogany veneer stock?
YELLOW GLUE FOR THIS REPAIR WORK. AS FAR AS OTHER TH-cam VIDEOS AND COLOR MATCHING .... TRY TOM JOHNSON ANTIQUE RESTORATION . I WILL PROBABLY BE DOING SOME MORE OF THAT IN THE FUTURE . I DID DO THAT IN THE 5 PART SHERATON CHEST OF DRAWERS SERIES ( PART 5 )
I don't have veneer. But I have plenty of different varieties of mahogany boards/slabs. Get good with a planar and peel your own vener. If you're willing to pay shipping from Hawaii.
How would I repair/restore a veneer top that was oversanded in an area and the finish look is removed? any ideas?Excellent video, very informative.Cheers
loved the video i have several old pieces that need to be fixed like this i hate to see these old pieces damaged and worse than that i hate to see someone use bondo on them and then paint them it is a woodworking sin my question is where to find the veneer repair pieces thank you
ROSS TAYLOR WOODWORKS does excess glue create a problem for you when doing this? I’d be worried it would impede staining, or at least be difficult to remove because of the tape. Do you find that to be the case?
An amazing job. Great video tutorial. The cost however of labor far exceeds the value of a very mediocre table. Unless the table has enormous sentimental value, the owner will never recoup the large amount of cost to repair if they ever tried to resell it.
Since its effectively impossible hide the patch, I would have made that a full 45 degree, instead of having that odd corner, and then do the exact same cut on the other side. That way the patch would have actually looked intentional, like a design feature, instead of looking like a patch.

You are a crazy voodoo wood magic wizard! I can't believe how amazing that table turned out!
So cool. You make it look sooo easy. Thanks for the video!
Incredible to see it after restoration. Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. Cheers
Agreed, you are an artist .
Thank you. I was trying to decide how to do just this.
Looks awsome, beautiful work done!!
Beautiful outcome

Capolavoro 👍👍😊 Bravissimo 👏 Ciao 🇮🇹
I have a pie crust table with claw legs I'm working on restoring. How would you recommend stripping the base? There's so many little crevasses!
Great work. Thx
I have this same table i started disassembling and cleaning over 10 years ago. If i remember correctly it just need the old shellac cleaned off. I need to dig it out of the corner of the basement and finish it.
I have the exact table and is also loose...
So helpful, thank you.
Very nice!

Outstanding job, but obvious in looks. I almost believe all the top should have been redone
I think you might want a glue company to sponsor you LOL
I find your vids enjoyable & informative- keep Rockin'!
I was waiting to see how you actually done the whole top. what all was done.
in these videos I was focusing mainly on the veneer repair . the finish was the same as the "mahogany table damaged by sun "
How would I repair/restore a veneer top that was oversanded in an area and the finish look is removed? any ideas?Excellent video, very informative.Cheers
I only want to somehow restore the top and not resort to cutting that part of the veneer.Thank you
Where’s the finished product. You said you were coming back but you didn’t. We would like to see the final look!
loved the video i have several old pieces that need to be fixed like this i hate to see these old pieces damaged and worse than that i hate to see someone use bondo on them and then paint them it is a woodworking sin my question is where to find the veneer repair pieces thank you
Amazing!
That should have been a three part video. Didn’t get to see how you finished the rest 😩
Where is Part 1?
Why the blue tape over the glue line for the top veneer?
it is just to keep the veneer from slipping , easier to remove than veneer tape

Wow!

you suppose to show us the finishing process after gluing the mohagny piece
thats the most important
Would have been better to re veneer the top or cut a complete straight strip rather than a diagonal join
Wow!!!!!
The grain matches perfectly

Too lengthy video for such a small job
