OMG, Trena! You did a magnificent job restoring this beautiful antique bed. The attention and care you gave to the tiniest details shows your dedication to your job! Thanks!❤🛏
this is where you excel Trena.. the work you did on the fleur de le shaped piece shows your integrity to keep the original woodwork procedure..as you say .. you could order .. or buy.. similar.. but you do a proper job .. i have soo much respect for you .. and your work .. you are not only a restorer .. you are an ARTIST xxxx
Trena, you are more than a furniture restorer you dear are an artist love to watch you mixing and matching colors I truly believe being a woman you know how something should look
I love elm furniture! It's such a shame that disease wiped out the species in the. US. Thanks for another incredible restoration. I always learn from you!
Can you imagine 40 to 50 years from now getting to see this bed again. Maybe it will last for 100 years. Superior crafting and attention to detail. Thank you.
Trena, I continue to stand in awe. Your talents (restoration, repair, filmography) are outstanding. Your honesty and transparency in presenting your efforts come across as genuine. I appreciate that. Keep up the great work! - Phil
Gorgeous hand carved embellishments and highlighted wood finish. Your perseverance, determination and certainly accomplished project and inspiring work. Look forward to seeing your next one. 😊
Wow, I started thinking at first that this bed wouldn't be worth kindling to me. But your expertise and craftsmanship are just incredible. What a beautiful restoration. I can only imagine the customer will be thrilled if not already.
You give me such pleasure to watch you do your magic! I so appreciate you preserving the history that is incorporated in each piece that you bring back to its original glory.
This video shows off all your skills: proper deconstruction, various repairs, replacement where indicated, art work, sculpture, stripping, sanding, staining, color toning and finishing. The end product achieving the best possible presentation and is stronger physically than before. No wonder your shop keeps filling up with work! I hope you put a sticker on the end product somewhere showing who did the restoration.
I really enjoy your attention to detail and the care and consideration you put into each decision you make. You do beautiful work! Thanks for showing it!
You did it again. Made it look totally original with your mixing of colors. I had to notice the beauty in the grain of the two top boards of the headboard, that is so nice. You made a good call by keeping the original leg.
Trena, that bed is absolutely gorgeous. How beautiful would that be in the bedroom with a lovely bedspread or coverlet on it. It's absolutely amazing the beautiful work you do and make magic restoring. Your father was a wonderful teacher and you a awesome student to take that wonderful craft on. Few and far between can do what you do and make it look so beautiful and with such ease. Thank you for sharing.......it's absolutely breathtaking! God bless
I wanted to say I purchased some Impact votes for Laura. I saw it also supports the American Lung Association and I could not have stayed a non smoker for 16 years without their support and encouragement by the members of their Freedom From Smoking group! I quit the day my lung spontaneously collapsed - great motivator, anyway - and might not be here today if I had not quit.
Phenomenal work again Trena! I look at your pieces and think they are perfect, then you state you are going to tint it, and they end up even better! So happy to see beautiful furniture repaired, restored and given new life!
I hope this project was as much fun to do as it was to watch. It is pure artistry. I am rooting for and voting for Laura every day. Thank you for a wonderful video.
Excellent work. Gained two bits of wisdom from this project. The use of number stamps to mark the joint as the tape is always in the way. The courage to rebuild a beautiful old bed we have that is too short.
As always Trena you have done a great job watching a master at their work is enjoyable can’t wait to see more as l have said before it would be a great honour to come and work with you but I think it would be a long way for me as l live in the uk 🇬🇧 🤣 stay safe 👏👏
Trena- Now thats a bed worthy of sleeping in. I love the wavy desert sand lines in the head board they really are fantastic. Thanks again for sharing, we love you.
I really enjoy wayching you do your work . You make it look so simple and easy. You are a very talented person. But I know you learned a lot from your dad. He is a really really smart soul.
Don't know about the voting thing, but I want to give a big shout to whoever sent you that DeWalt hot gun....massive respect whoever you are. Can I have shop dog please JFR ?....I will give you some money...I saw her on the trampoline and she melted me. God bless n peace to ya.
In the beginning of this one, I thought you said you were painting this bed. My heart sank, but the customer is always right. But then you started staining and I was like WoW! So glad and it turned out beautiful!! The appliques looked like jewelry on that head board. The grain was perfection! Trena you are amazing! So happy for your friend, thanks for the update!💙💛
thank you, I enjoy watching your concentration to minor details. when you were making the broken missing pieces it looked like you were relaxed and enjoying your time to create. i wish you were closer to montana but windsor is nice too, just too far!
My ex wife and I had one very similar with the same problem with the rails. Just one rail. It ended up getting repaired about 4 times! Once by a furniture repair person. It still broke! At least one more time! No appliqués involved.
3/27/22; oh yes Trenta, another excellent job stripping orange bed frame, head & foot ends. You made new bed/box/mattress side frames, very nice! Exceptional detail work on those 3D leaf 🍃 elements centered on head board & edges of vertical supports...really nice, time consuming work on those accent pieces. Then you spliced-in a new piece replacing a weak mid-span element! Wow! Your carpentry skills are impressive to watch as you so easily performed exacting plunge oscillating cuts, then installed the matching 'filler' piece perfectly fitting without slightest hint of seams ! You do very good work ! 👏 Then 'dabbing' slightly darker stain color on those Leaf Detail elements vs. different, lighter color, but dark, stain on body of headboard & all other components. The finished unit looks 'showroom' new & probably worth many $1000's. Another fantastic job! So, kick back & sip your favorite Eggnog, yup, you earned it...& your loyal viewers don't mind a little white mustache, aye!👩🔧😋👍👍👍😊
I'm always amazed at the talent and expertise and patience that goes into your work. Beautiful outcome. Oops on the applique. Reminded me of a day long ago in the shop with my dad when he told me, "A small mistake doesn't kill son." I replied, "No..., but it scolds." He looked at me for a bit then laughed. Lol, the good ol days. I patiently await your next video. GB
Turned out beautiful. Love to watch how you make/do the repair work, adding the missing pieces etc. shows the level of your workmanship and talent you have, always going above and beyond. 😊👏
Simply builtiful iwas scared to death you were going to paint the bed you are a very talented woodworker your father taught you well and you learned well your a young lady but many years ahead of us older woodworkers your attention to detail is amazing
Thanks for the heart my I'm 69 years old full of arthritis but still working my craftsmanship has increased enmensly from Learning from you may God bless and thank you
@Trena~ She's a beauty! Your meticulous attention to every detail is second to none and it truly shines through in all of your finished restoration pieces. The dynamic movement in the grain figure of the Elm used in this piece is simply spectacular! Your color work brought that figure to life the way it was meant to be! BRAVO! I'm thrilled to hear that our votes for Laura have gotten her through to the Final 15! I will continue to vote for her daily :-). CHEERS! ~~Christy~~
Beautiful! That last color adjustment (to tone down the yellow) really enhanced the overall look. I like this new look, as it emphasizes the lovely grain of the wood.
Always enjoy your work Trena. Very professional and knowledge of just what to do. No hesitating to get right down to fixing the problems. I know it came out better than it was. Nice work, really nice professional work. Thanks for the videos.
Great work. This could go straight into an antique shop... To be sold for a hefty price, and a story about it being stored in the attic for 200 years and hardly used. 😁
OMG, Trena! You did a magnificent job restoring this beautiful antique bed. The attention and care you gave to the tiniest details shows your dedication to your job! Thanks!❤🛏

Trena, you are more than a furniture restorer you dear are an artist love to watch you mixing and matching colors I truly believe being a woman you know how something should look
it doesn't have much to do with my gender, just experience and learning with my dad. cheers
I love elm furniture! It's such a shame that disease wiped out the species in the. US. Thanks for another incredible restoration. I always learn from you!
Nice work Trena, love watching you play with furniture. ❤ Dad.
Thanks Dad!
John, if you were a jew, you'd be kvelling.
You’ve done well with her! I’m sure you’re so proud!
Someone taught her well.
Thank you for teaching her and us. Thank you for supporting her...that's a real dad!
Nice to see a natural pretty girl without all that makeup, and very talented as well
Ho! This a wonderful job again! You are an Angel my Friend! You can do everything with your hands and you look Gorgeous! Thanks to you!💋❤️💋❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you imagine 40 to 50 years from now getting to see this bed again. Maybe it will last for 100 years. Superior crafting and attention to detail. Thank you.
I wish my Dad was alive to meet you. He would admire you and your talent working with wood and your desire to bring things to another life.
would have loved too.
I certainly do enjoy watching you doing these restorations and the attention to detail and colour matching. Thank you 😊.
You are very welcome

Another beautiful job Trena!! Will keep voting for your friend Laura to win! God Bless.
Thanks for voting
I enjoy watching people work with wood and have become addicted to your channel. I love your attention to detail.
Awesome, thank you!
Never would have thought of cutting a mortise with a reciprocating saw until I watched you do it!! Amazing!
You give me such pleasure to watch you do your magic! I so appreciate you preserving the history that is incorporated in each piece that you bring back to its original glory.
Thankyou!
Amazing work , looks so so much better .
The original couler was so bland , very clever lady 👍🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Repairing the crooked rail seems to have straightened the rail somewhat. Excellent restoration, as usual!
Your understanding of color in relation to wood is very good!!! Thanks for the detailed walkthrough of why you choose different stains!
Super job again
.you do awesome work. You
Turn
Old to new. Great job!
Great job again. You are a real pro. Thanks for sharing.
Really love watching your restoration/repair videos. You have a great talent. You go the extra mile when it comes to finishing a piece of art!
You do the most amazing work. I really appreciate your hard work especially when you restore a piece.
Lovely piece/restoration, sure to please generations to come!
Great job good for another 50 years.

Great to see a piece restored and back to life, the timber grain when stained stood out so well, lovely finish, well done.
🤣 I loved the little “seriously” when the piece snapped off while taking the nail out. I felt your pain.
thanks. lol
I really enjoy your attention to detail and the care and consideration you put into each decision you make. You do beautiful work! Thanks for showing it!

Another stunning piece Trena that showcases your craftmanship. Beautiful xx

You are the best furniture restorer in the northern hemisphere! Thank you,
Wow, thank you!😳
Thank you once again Trena for bringing such a peaceful Spirit to my day ... I love how you transform all your projects back to perfection.
You are so welcome
Trena, it was great to hear about Laura! Thank you for the update. I must say I'm continually impressed with your color work!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful
Trena, you can make the most boring bed frame interesting. 🙂
Great finish colour on this too.
Cant wait for the next video.
Phil.
Trena is a rock star! Her talent and knowledge are second to none! Trena’s color matching is impeccable! Thanks for sharing your beautiful story

You are awesome! Thankyou Anita!
Wow, the colour change just takes this piece to a whole new level 👏
It does!
Oh, the grain on that headboard. So beautiful. Great job.
Excellent work. Gained two bits of wisdom from this project. The use of number stamps to mark the joint as the tape is always in the way. The courage to rebuild a beautiful old bed we have that is too short.
have fun!
Just gorgeous. It's a pleasure watching you work, Trena.
Thank you so much!
Excellent!
I think the owner will fall in love with the bed all over again.Great color change.
Your talent and attention to detail never fails to amaze me!! ❤

Simply builtiful iwas scared to death you were going to paint the bed you are a very talented woodworker your father taught you well and you learned well your a young lady but many years ahead of us older woodworkers your attention to detail is amazing
Thanks for the heart my I'm 69 years old full of arthritis but still working my craftsmanship has increased enmensly from
Learning from you may God bless and thank you
Elm is my favourite wood and there is some beautiful examples of it in that bed.
Wonderful work.
Mine too!
I can't tell you how much you've taught me. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Some one will sleep nicely in that pretty bed. Good information about the appliqués....They do looks so rich.
As with yours, Laura's work is amazing. Voting every day!
Thankyou Roger
Outstanding job. Bravo.
You are a truly talented craftsperson! Your attention to detail and eye for color/tint are phenomenal
That was the right repair for the leg.
Beautiful!!!

Every time I watch one of your shows I learn something. Thank you good job.
Glad to hear it!
Beautiful! That last color adjustment (to tone down the yellow) really enhanced the overall look. I like this new look, as it emphasizes the lovely grain of the wood.
I love love that colour stain . Beautiful job
Sensational the work you did on the appliquet on the headboard of this bed. Loved it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Holy cow, you’ve given that bed another long, long life, crazy good skills, gorgeous job!
Thank you! 😊
Always enjoy your work Trena. Very professional and knowledge of just what to do. No hesitating to get right down to fixing the problems. I know it came out better than it was. Nice work, really nice professional work. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you!
Obviously you listened to your father very well. It shows .he must be one proud papa
It turned out so awesome. God bless
My favorite part was when you rebuilt the leaf tips. Beautiful work.
I worry less about every piece of wood perfectly matching in color. For 37 years I was a varnish guy. You have shown me that lacquer is the way to go.
Great work. This could go straight into an antique shop...
To be sold for a hefty price, and a story about it being stored in the attic for 200 years and hardly used. 😁
The grain on that is stunning! I can’t believe it was covered up with that gross old stain.
Beautiful work Trena! So nicely done!
Love, love, love the new color. So much better! Would you please try to include the customer’s reaction if possible?
