How to LIGHTEN DARK STAINS on furniture

  • I love using oxalic acid (wood bleach) to lighten dark water stains and damage that sanding alone doesn't remove. This vintage solid wood table was in desperate need of attention, and I painted the base and revived the top.
    Every few months I do a furniture flip for 10,000 Carrots Rabbit Rescue, a rescue near and dear to my heart.
    This is the 8th one I've done, and now that I'm on youtube, I can share these with you all as well! Once the piece is completed, I then sell tickets on it with all proceeds to the rescue!
    Tickets are only available to those local to us (as I can't ship the furniture), but if you'd like to learn more about the rescue, or even make a donation, you can find them on FB under 10,000 Carrots Rabbit Rescue, or
    www.10000carrots.com !

    You called it a "refresh", I'm gonna call it a "renew" cause it sure looked new to me. I still think you have a magic wand that you keep out of view, what you do to these pieces is nothing less than magic. I'm gonna keep saying it "any piece that passes thru your hands is blessed"!

    I wanna say that I only found your channel a couple days ago, but I've been watching it multiple times a day since I found it. I love your creativity and the beauty of the work you are doing. I work full time in a cabinet shop and do some woodworking on the side. And, I appreciate the love and care you give these beautiful pieces. I also love the info I get about restoring old pieces. I'm so use to working with newly built pieces, but I've been wanting to work on restoring some older pieces as well. You do amazing work and I love your channel. Keep up the amazing work.

    I was given a well used dining table just before Christmas. I am going to find that oxalic acid, do your stem trick and I am sure I can get it looking pretty again. I won't be to your standard but I am going to try my best!!

    • @JP-mq7pg
      @JP-mq7pg Před 3 lety +8

      As Andie mentions be sure to wear rubber gloves. I'll also add wear protective glasses or goggles and make sure your in a well ventilated work space. Long sleeve clothing and pants can't hurt either. Remember you are using an acid. I've refinished furniture for years...just sharing some safety tips. Read the warning labels on what ever product you try.

    Hi Angie & everyone from this lovely community. I recently renovated an old Peugeot coffee grinder from the 30s or so (French). Made the mistake of using white vinegar with fine steel wool and it tainted it greyish! Of course I only discovered ebonising wood with a vinegar+steel wool solution AFTER doing that😅. So I know that you use oxalic acid to remove stains. I re-sanded that darkened part and OA restored my wood to it's original colour. So thank you because I learned that from you😊❤

    Wow, wish I had seen this years ago when I was gifted a table in such condition just out of college. I would have kept it. Alas, CZcams is a gift for the future. Yet another awesome video. Thanks for tackling this project and sharing the steps. This table is beautifully rendered under your skilled hand. Another great success. Thanks for sharing. (But...please do wear gloves, no matter how skilled you are....we care).

    I am so amazed. Life is full of coincidences. First, I had 3 rescue rabbits. Love bunnies 💖. I have been a member of the House Rabbit Society for years. And secondly, I just bought a table to refinish with the same look and issues. Your video is very helpful. I'm a big fan of your CZcams channel. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Good luck with the fundraiser.🐇

    I wanted to tell you, after a bout of covid and a hurricane I was able to work on that table top again and the oxalic acid worked!! There is a slight indented spot where the stain was and I tried the wet rag iron trick but it just worked a little bit. It’s okay, that’s part of this tables history. 😉 I so appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and experience with us. Thank you! This table has now become a family heirloom. ❤️

    I know that this vid is from a while ago, but I felt that I had to comment. I just watched a video of a refinish of an old piece, on another channel. The refinisher just sanded, and did nothing else to remove the black stains on the top of her piece. When it was complete, those stains were still there, just under a layer of urethane. I am so impressed with the success of using oxalic acid on this table. The worst of the stains are gone, and the final finish is gorgeous. Every time I watch one of these videos, I learn something new! Thank you so much for what you do!

    Beautiful! Thank you for explain how the hot pressing iron, and wet towel is used to raise a dent/scratch in wood. Learned that from a furniture dealer 35 years ago, and paid much less for an item I would not have been able to purchase at the regular price. Love this.

Thank you for your bunny money mission time effort and commitment. It has been said it takes a village to raise a child...but with a rabbit/the prolific birth rates/it takes a REALLY BIG Village, and a wonderful generous woman and her magical wood work to make a difference. WELL DONE YOU! 🐰💕

    @maribellenavarez8767 Před 2 lety

    I am SO GLAD I watched this video, otherwise I never would’ve known about using oxalic acid to lift water stains from untreated wood. I’m going to try this! I have a bay window with a badly water stained “seat” area from when my mom decided to place plants there and water them before the area was properly stained and sealed, so it’s pretty much sat in this terrible condition for several years. I really didn’t want to paint it just to cover it up, so I’ll give this a go before trying other solutions. Thanks for your videos! They’re all so inspirational, and I love that you support the bunny rescue! 🐰

    I love you even more knowing you have rescue rabbits and you raise money for the organization. I am starting a cat non-profit for low cost spay/neuter and shots - in my home town in Missouri, USA and I flip furniture to help pay vet bills since I'm not a non-profit quite yet - it is amazing how much money I can earn flipping furniture - it definitely helps!! I have the exact table but painted black and chipped up - now I know what direction to go with it! Thanks and Bless you.

      That’s amazing! Yes, animals and helping where I can is a passion of mine. Bunnies are very misunderstood little creatures and because they are a good source for many (😭), it makes the plight of the domestic rabbit worse. But I help where I can- they have such funny and quirky personalities. ❤️❤️

    Nice work for a great charity. Loved the bunny modeling your table, which turned out worthy of a whole truckload of carrots in my opinion. Thanks also for the tips. I've no experience with oxalic acid and never used an iron to level furniture gouges. Look forward to testing out the new techniques when I find the right piece that will benefit.
