Stripping THICK Finish: Beautiful NATURAL Makeover for these Side Tables
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Insect damage & infestation is probably the scariest part about flipping furniture, but thankfully, I don't run into it that often. Woodworm used to be far more common, though it does still exist, as well as other wood boring larvae. It doesn't require damp conditions to exist, but they certainly do thrive in them, and areas where finish is missing are particularly susceptible. This is why it is SO IMPORTANT to make sure your furniture's finish remains intact, and why "ruining the value" by refinishing is a bit of a double edged sword- because if the finish is damaged, the piece is vulnerable to rot, water damage, and insect damage. Where is the "value" in that??
These side tables are not old, but they were made to LOOK old, using multiple tools to create the look of worm holes, and boring trails. It is seen occasionally in modern furniture with an antique style. It helps to "sell" it. Literally and figuratively. But there was finish covering all of the holes, holes were found only on visible areas (the undersides of the top and bottom braces had not a single hole), and the boring trails were all completely uniform in width and definition. If there were REAL holes, they would be more uniform in size, there would be frass (the powdery refuse produced by the insects) in and around the holes, and you would likely see real structural damage, not just surface "wounds".
I hope you enjoy this transformation. ❤️

Detective, alchemist, and a small percentage sorceress -- you made the magic happen again. These would look perfect for just about any decor style. And your tutorial on (not) woodworm was fascinating.
Yes, the finished product would make most people say, "What sorcery is this?" We know it is pure talent.
Awe Gina, thank you so much. I really appreciate such a great comment. You are appreciated!
Pretty ❤
YOUR finish choice made the tables look much more like real antiques than did the manufacturer's finish choice. Your artist eye for color is so amazing. Your formula is a lovely butternut to my eyes.
Agree, on all of this 🙂
Wow, thank you very much! I really appreciate that!
I like the way they turned out. So much nicer than the original color. Good choice!
Thank you so much!
Me too. I like seeing the process and the “before vs after” look of her work. Looks always be very beatiful and has “distinguish appearance”
Your channel has quickly become my favorite because your voiceovers and commentary explaining everything that you're doing. The other channels either paint all the furniture or they have silence except for the scraping sound and don't tell you what they're doing. It's like they try to make it ASMR or something lol
I'm so glad you're enjoying my content! Thank you so much for watching!
Having watched you struggle remove some stubborn finishes, that was VERY satisfying!
Wasn't it though? So clean! Thanks so much for watching Rose!
Sundays afternoon is my me time and watching your videos is part of it. I miss you when you do not make a video. So glad you are back.
This weeks video is a Q&A video being released tonight to mark the 2 year Anniversary of my channel - just so you can be aware of it. Thanks so much for watching!
Another great video. The “worm holes” were really interesting. I love what you did to these tables. Love the different woods, whatever they are, and the inlay. Beautiful color!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
I liked the yellow, at first. It reminded me of a sunburst. But I really do like the tints you chose and how they turn out in the end. 😊
Many thanks Vickie!
So pretty! They look so much better without that thick, shiny finish. And that burled grain on the edges is really nice. They've gone from cheap, big-box to being something I would love in my home. Nice job, as usual!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I love the way you explain your thought process. And your voice is a perfect narrator tone. Always enjoy your videos.
I'm so glad to hear that!
My jaw dropped when you stripped the finish. You could see the beautiful wood grain so clearly.
Thank you so much for watching!
Those are exactly what I have been looking for here in the PNW but with a little smaller footprint to use side-by-side as a coffee table that can be split apart for when I have parties. Those turned out great!
Thanks so much!
They're beautiful, and just my style. Being a true "boomer," I grew up with the spindly legged mid-century modern furniture and its not really my thing. I prefer the slightly more ornate pieces like these tables. The table tops are absolutely beautiful and your finish really brings out their beauty. Thanks for a great episode.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
While not my favourite style, these are two solid tables, and the refinishing has made them far more attractive!
Love watching your videos. Back in the early 70's we had a coffee table that looked similar to the top of these. We were told it was pecan wood.
Good guess! I'm leaning toward Mango wood. Thanks so much for watching!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery looks like a mix of burl and tiger wood veneer on the top
@@TranscendFurnitureGalleryThe wood reminds me of my grandfather's briar pipe. Did you consider that?
Great transformation. They don’t look cheap anymore. Finish is so important.
I agree with you completely. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi, if I may add a guess at the veneers. The border looks to me to be olive ash burl. The quad match in the center appears to be possibly satinwood. The chatoyance the center wood suggests to me to be satinwood. There is a yellowheart or yellow wood lumber, but I have not seen that wood exhibit the figure your pieces show. Just my two cents. Great video by the way.
dave
Good guess, but I don't think it is. It has a very, very distinctive grain pattern. I'm leaning toward one of the fruit woods - maybe mango wood. Thanks for watching!
Im in awe as to how two cheap tables could turn out so beautifully. Im in Fl and trying to refurbish furniture. I love doing it. I love to stain and paint. Thank you for the great lessons.
You're so welcome Kathryn!
These would add such a homey feel to almost any room because of the warm color. Nice job, as usual!
Thank you kindly!
Nice work!
That wood is reminiscent of the bedroom set handed down to me, which has burl wood inlays on the doors and drawers. The writing on the back says Danish Walnut, and my parents got it when they were married in 1957.
I don't remember seeing a manufacturer, only a store logo. And... I don't think I'm going to move furniture this evening. LOL!
The set has never been refinished-it needs it, but the patina is a deep honey/molasses color. I LOVE it.
I can't believe you didn't want to drag heavy furniture around late at night Cathy! (I don't blame you in the least) 😉😊 It sounds like a gorgeous set! Thanks so much for watching!
Those turned out so beautiful, Andrea!❤
I'm actually Angie, Andrea is my partner. Thank you for watching!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Oops! That's right. Sorry about that.
I don't know how I missed this until now, but these tables look so much better. They had a really nasty finish, almost plastic looking, and now the wood has been set free.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Very nice choice of color and finish. Interesting how just that change made them look more modern m
I thought so as well.
Thanks so much for watching!
I’m right there with J Randall, I recommend people go watch you work your magic to friends and strangers alike. Another 10 out of 10, my girl. They turned out beautifully. Well done as always.
Thank you so much Amie!
You have my absolutely favourite furniture restoration channel. Your modest, calm and authoritative delivery and the quality of your design choices and workmanship are compelling. I had Ben, one of my guinea pigs, happily purring (and pooing and peeing, it has to be said) on my knee earlier this evening, as we watched your transformation of the Art Deco nightstands. Stunning. Keep 'em coming.
Give Ben some love from me - he's clearly got impeccable taste. 😉Thank you so much for watching Roger!
Its amazing the contrast with the colour once it's on wood(s)!
As usual, they are now high end, desirable pieces. Beautiful!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Love the color and soft finish. Makes me think of old leather.
Thank you very much!
Perfect color for stain, brings out the texture of the wood. May not be your style but you gave it a new beautiful life :)
Thank you kindly!
I did actually like the yellow color. It was very striking. What you went with is fine, but it doesn't jump out at you like the yellow did.
The yellow was jumping just a bit too much for me, personally.. but I get that some folks would like it!
It would've been perfect for someone who wanted to add gold to it i.e. Kasha style
I expected to be disappointed because i loved the yellow (yes, really!), but the results are stellar. Very elegant. I'm always amazed.
Thank you kindly!
Being almost 60 😮...I remember the worm-hole style. I'm glad you said it was fake at the end...I was going to say that!
Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful teaching,Angie. Thank you.
You're very welcome Nancy!
What a yummy light caramel color you created. ❤️ Almost a farmhouse vibe yet very traditional. I can't imagine have any problems finding a new owner for these.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
It looks like my Chestnut furniture 🤔 Ty for refinishing a traditional style. I didn't realize it could be done on mass produced big box furniture❤ I would have bought them from you!!
Good guess, but I don't think it is. It has a very, very distinctive grain pattern. I'm leaning toward one of the fruit woods - maybe mango wood. Thanks for watching!
Those tables ended up looking wonderful😍
Thank you so much!
I sure don't know what kind of wood these are, but your refinishing made them look much more high end. Very attractive.
Thank you very much! 😊
Love the colours you chose! Turned out great!
Thank you so much!
This was a huge improvement on that yellow tone. Well done
Thank you so much for watching!
They may not be your usual cup of tea, but they came out beautifully! The grain and burl on this mystery wood is quite striking, and I think your choice really helps it pop.
Thank you very much!
That has got to be the best finish scrape I've ever seen 😻
Thank you!
Another beautifully done transformation! ❤ By looking at the wood through the video, my dad thinks it’s a teak wood. Regardless, they are gorgeous!
Good guess, but I don't think it is. It has a very, very distinctive grain pattern. I'm leaning toward one of the fruit woods - maybe mango wood. Thanks for watching!
And the wood whisperer does it again, ladies and gentlemen!!! Gorgeous choice of color to bring out the majesty of the wood. It is absolutely stunning so I don’t know what you’re talking about when you said it doesn’t inspire shock and awe. In my eyes this is fantastic! Keep it up ma’am 😊
Thank you Lisa!
The second jar you made of a coffee-colored shade looked awfully pretty in the jar
Thanks so much!
You are so meticulous in your work. I could learn a lot about patience and being in the moment and enjoying the process from you.
Thanks so much for watching!
I think these came out really beautiful. I try to absorb all the info, explanations, techniques and recommendations...learn as much as I can. I'm grateful that you share your knowledge. Excellent job.
I'm so glad I can help! Thanks for watching!
I live in the southeastern USA. Yellow pine is common here. I like yellow egg yolks and the yellow sun in the sky, beyond that I'm not interested. Your choices for the end tables were spot-on. Your attention to detail and tips are always impressive.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful ! Your approach is so professional. Love the color they turned out ❤
Thank you very much!
They turned out beautifully, you are very good at mixing just the right stain, so warm and rich!
Thanks Patti!
Amazing transformation, love the colour, you nailed it again xx
Thank you so much Freyja!
I love your camera work when you were stripping the tabletop. The close up on the edge of the scraper as it peeled off the old finish is so satisfying.
The new finish looks wonderful. The wood is so warm and inviting. I can understand how you were drawn to these tables, because I felt the same way when I saw the beautiful tabletops.
I'm so glad you like them Shirley! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I wonder if the veneer is birch and the main body of these is acacia, especially with how yellow that veneer was under the original finish. Your refinishing and colour choice definitely improved them from where they started.
I'm actually thinking mango wood. Thanks so much for watching!
The color really enhanced the grain of the mystery wood. Another beauty
(I think it's mango wood) Thanks so much for watching!
Why is it that stripping finish or paint is so gross but so satisfying?? 😅
The ultimate juxtaposition. lol
The tables turned out great. It's interesting to see how man-made distressing is discovered. The future restorers will have an interesting time trying to figure it out.
Yes they will! Thanks for watching Troy!
Gorgeous, as usual
Thanks Amber!
Very nice job, Angie. This size and style would not go well in our home, but someone is going to love them. I watch the video for pure enjoyment, and then watch it again noting all the technical things such as blending stains and oils. Thanks for taking the time to give us tips on how it's done. .Bless you and keep doing your magnificent work. Love, Dave & Amy.
You're so welcome you two! Thanks so much for watching!
A beautiful refinishing off these side tables ! So happy that the yellow color is gone an that the new color fitting so well with this type off tables. So the choice you make was perfect !!! Love your video as always !!
I'm so glad Albert! Thanks for always watching! 😊
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👌👏👏👏
😊
I love how the colour turned out. Much prettier than the original finish.
Thank you so much!
The color turned out so pretty!
Thank you so much!
I prefer this style of furniture over mid century, personally. But I'll watch whatever you make because you have the perfect balance of talking/ teaching & images. Plus your work is amazing!
Thank you so much Julia! I know a lot of people love these kinds of pieces so wanted to make sure I included something outside my norm.
Love the figuring in the veneer on the center of the tops. Also those pieces around the center have crazy figuring . Your finish choice really made these pieces so much nicer. You can see the beautiful wood more clearly than that old finish. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!
Yay top 105 comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family.
Loved the colour 😍 it really made the beautiful grain and burl just pop out.
Thank you!
Love the warm color with the unique wood grain. This set is very nice, well done!
Thank you!
These came out really pretty!! Not my style at all (I’m “cottage pine”), but the veneer on the tops is just beautiful!! ❤
Thanks for watching!
I have two credenzas from the late ‘60’s. They are also pre-damaged by the manufacturer, whose name I’m having trouble remembering, but they were purchased at Marshall Field & Co., and it’s a high-end manufacturer.
They are made from distressed pecan, non-distressed walnut (inside-which I now suspect may be veneer!) and distressed oak.
My mother explained to me at the time that “distressed” woods were in vogue at that time. The two she mentioned were distressed pecan and “pecky” cypress (supposed to look as if a bird had pecked it in search of worms).
My money is on your wood being pecan or cypress.
BTW, my pieces are finished in a color very close to your favorite nutmeg stain.
Good guess, but I don't think it is. It has a very, very distinctive grain pattern. I'm leaning toward one of the fruit woods - maybe mango wood. Thanks for watching!
Amazing how you could see through the varnish and know what beautiful wood was underneath!
Sometimes you just have a feeling about a piece or pieces. Thanks so much for watching!
You worked your magic and made these pieces amazing
Thanks Kit!
Looks great! Love your choice of stain colour.
Thank you very much!
So much improved---and the color is gorgeous! Your knowledge of wood and finishes, Angie, is remarkable. Love the result.
Thank you so much!!
Awww the one table has two hearts in the middle!!❤❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow, those are beautiful! The inlay adds so much to them.
I think so too! Thank you so much for watching! 😃
It's funny, the finish almost starts bubbling as you simply get close to the wood with the brush. Of course it doesn't, but it looks like it! 😆
I sure do love wood. It is so beautiful & each piece is unique.
Beautiful job. 🩵
Thank you very much for watching!
I agree with all the other comments that said you made them look so much better than the manufacturer did. ❤
I'm so glad you like how it turned out! Thank you so much for watching!
Wow Angie once again you have breathed new life into something that started out as something someone got rid of. These came our amazing 🤩 🎉❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome that I learn new things, but also my zen relaxation time. 🙏 thank you Angie.
You're so welcome Pat! I'm so glad you find my videos relaxing. 😊
I love love love how these came out! I wish I was local because I'd love to buy them. Awesome job!!
Thank you so much!
Love to see products that you use! These are such practical end tables, large surface and low enough for lamps. Good job!
Thank you so much!
these turned out fantastic!
Thank you so much!
Once again, the results are beautiful. Softer, more naturally colored, and not covered in too many layers of shiny topcoat.
Thank you so much for watching!
I LOVE that wood grain!!! That is so different and interesting, and I like the tone that you ended up with! I'm not a fan of yellow woods, either :D.
It's interesting to know that sometimes 'wood damage' is part of a faux finish. I'd never realized that, before. As always, beautiful work, Angie!!!
Isn't it stunning??? Thank you so much!
As always, they came our amazing. Some amazing luxury looks of some high quality furniture. They are so rich. I might want those scratches sanded out with those tiny holes too though.
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
What is it about stripping the finish that is so satisfying to watch? Great job!
The renewal process is definitely a satisfying one. Thanks so much for watching!
this is gorgeous. I completely hate the fake damage on modern pieces. it's wasteful to make, to buy and is inevitably thrown away... unless someone lovely like you comes along and actually makes it look very good
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Absolutely lovely, that grain pattern is gorgeous. I admit I would have painted the legs (I would have stripped the top) because all that stripping and sanding is too labor intensive for lazy old me.
Thanks so much for watching Trudy!
Is it wrong that I found watching you scrape off that old finish so satisfying?
If it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right. Hahaha
This was fun to see you do something different. These turned out quite nicely!!
Thank you!
I'm glad you saved these two tables. They look amazing.
Thank you very much! 😀
Wow 😍 I was so worried at the you started stripping these that they would lose the character they had but how wrong was I???!!! Stunning 😍 I absolutely love them. I would buy in a heartbeat. You have the same taste in wood colour as me so makes it even better.
Thanks for sharing 💚
You're so welcome! Thanks for sticking it out til the end to see what I had planned!
I have watched at least 25 videos on restoring old furniture not one of those videos did they restain the furniture, all the furniture was painted. I'm so glad you restained it! I love the natural wood it so pretty, the wood is a design within it's self! Very nice job!
I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods wherever possible. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching! 🙂
Very satisfying seeing that finish come off.
I agree, it came off so smooth!
Very nice result. Would never have looked at them with the former finish but now they really look desirable! 😊
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Great job! I esp love the color and the finish you achieved on the legs and cross piece. 💜
Thank you very much!
I have to say when I first saw those tables I wasn't too enthusiastic. Once you started removing the old finish and I could see the wood underneath that's when I started get a little more jazzed up about this project. I like the end result the tabletops were the star of the show.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like how they turned out. 😀
You so so talented!! I love how thorough you are and your attention to detail is impeccable! ❤
Thank you so much!
The parquet is beautiful..and the string inlay!.well done Angie!
Thanks Frank!
You have such a good eye for colour, I was sure I wasn’t going to like these, but love them!
I'm so glad! Thank you very much!
Oh, and you have the best background music.
Thank you!
Another exceptional transformation. I have no idea what the wood is, but the finished product is exceptional, as always. Even though there were no bunnies or kitties.
Thank you so much Gary! Nacho had prior engagements he really could not get out of but he wanted me to assure everyone he.'' make his return to the screen shortly. 😊
