When my Grandmother passed, I received the music that was found in her piano bench. I have so much joy playing the early 1900's music and thinking of what a wonderful person she was. I am sure the owner of this sheet music cabinet will have the same pleasure from this beautiful piece of furniture. Have a beautiful Christmas with your family.
Nice to see you and your dad working together, I’m sure he is proud of you carrying on the family tradition of restoring furniture. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with many more projects to come.
Oh my gosh, the musician in me just got so excited seeing all of the music hidden under the drawers! Have an amazing Christmas with your family, Trena! ❤
Beautiful job, as usual, Trena. I'm a classical musician and I have NEVER seen a music cabinet of that particular design. It's a very sweet, practical and relatively compact piece of furniture. It could easily be stored in the nook or corner of a small music studio or den. I love it! You can't go wrong with a deep, rich, luxurious mahogany finish. After all, The Bombay Company created a whole business model around that look. Anyway, I glad to seeing you settling in to your new (old) digs in Saskatoon. As I mentioned before, Regina/Saskatoon are my old stomping grounds and I know the area and the people well. Of course, you fit right in. You have a bit of that Western hospitality built into your genes. Nice to see your dad getting his toes wet again, too.
It is lovely watching you working with your dad again. What a beautiful job you have done on this Music storage cabinet. I’m sure she would love to receive the music back if it has come from her family. Those things are so precious. Once again, your talent shines through and it is a pleasure watching you work.
My first few visits to your channel since the move. Sounds like you're glad to be back home and working with your Dad. Very wonderful. Glad I found your channel again!
You did a beautiful restoration. I had never seen a music cabinet before. Very interesting piece of furniture. The owner must be thrilled with the restoration. May the history of this furniture live on for generations.
Thank you, Trena. I want to wish you and your dad a Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year. I love your content, you are not only a great restorer but a good teacher.
Groovy Girl back in her Groove I like it... Nice easy restoration and nice find in the back! Stay safe n well Tren, wishing you a Merry One. TFS, GB :)
You made it look almost new! That is an amazing job on the finish.....without losing the antique quality. That other finish was terrible and you truly saved this! So nice to see your Dad in the shop today!
Memories. Back in the 80s I helped a friend who did furniture restoration/small custom work. It is amazing how much abuse and damage can be undone on well built solid wood furniture. The one sad note was that some repeat customers subjected the redone items to the same abuse. The reference to Goudey stains also brought memories. In the 70s I crewed on an older wood racing yacht in Toronto. One of the owners was a principal in Goudey’s. Amongst other things he made up canned heat for the little gimbal “stove” we had. We called the stuff “Jacko” in his honour.
I was given a vintage file cabinet from my old elementary school. Behind the draws I found old test answers and student behavior management techniques. If only I had those test answers back in the day! Good to see someone using a flat plate to stop the wood being dented when removing the nails. Very nice result. I'm wondering if it could be made to look fancier with better knobs. The wood ones are ok, but they look a bit Armish. You know what would work. Putting those on the lathe and turning a few circles in that domed front. Would just lift it a bit.

Wonderful! Merry Christmas
Beautiful ❤
Marry Christmas🎄🎄🎄
So pretty now!
This was super cool to watch ❤️
I had never seen a sheet music desk before. What a practical yet beautiful piece! Great job of restoring this piece.
Thank you very much!
That cabinet is a paper crafter’s dream! The 12x12 paper would fit nicely!
I was just thinking it could be used for a lot of other things, file folders, for one. Photographs for another.
Someone is going to enjoy this piece for years to come. Turned out beautiful
I had never seen a sheet music desk. Now I want one! What a great place to store all of my sheet music. Thank you for this wonderful gift!!!
You're so welcome!
Someone should start making these again👍💖

I wish!
Looks so much better! Like a brand new piece.

Looks amazing.
That is such an interesting piece. My son-in-law is a music major and would love something like this I think.
Great work! Merry Christmas and Happy 2024!
Merry Christmas!
It's a beautiful piece, I think because it doesn't have superfluous veneer.
What an amazing little piece of furniture. I’ve never seen one of these before. Much better without the painted grain. 🙂
I totally agree!
Ein schöner Plattenschrank, ich hab so ein Möbel noch nie gesehen.
Thank you, Trena. I want to wish you and your dad a Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year. I love your content, you are not only a great restorer but a good teacher.

Big or small you restore them all. And this one is no exception. You do awesome work.
Thank you very much!

Thank you! 😊
Great work as ever. Compliments of the season to you all.
Thank you very much!
Wow. Real wood 🪵 furniture.
Cool. The dark finish is nice, does make it hard via camera to see the wood itself.
Yes
Great job! I can only imagine the confusion and ensuing conversion when a piece of music magically disappeared from the cabinet.
Lol
Very beautiful, and I agree with nearly everyone's comments.......awesome piece......awesome job. Happy New Year
