STRIPPING FINISH on worn out side tables - furniture refinishing & restoration
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 04. 2023
- 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. ❤️

My jaw dropped when you stripped the finish. You could see the beautiful wood grain so clearly.
Thank you so much for watching!
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!
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!
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”
Having watched you struggle remove some stubborn finishes, that was VERY satisfying!
Wasn't it though? So clean! Thanks so much for watching Rose!
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!
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!
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!
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! 😊
Great transformation. They don’t look cheap anymore. Finish is so important.
I agree with you completely. Thanks so much for watching!
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!
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! 😊
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!
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
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!
While not my favourite style, these are two solid tables, and the refinishing has made them far more attractive!
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!
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.
These would add such a homey feel to almost any room because of the warm color. Nice job, as usual!
Thank you kindly!
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)!
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!
Why is it that stripping finish or paint is so gross but so satisfying?? 😅
The ultimate juxtaposition. lol
Gorgeous, as usual
Thanks Amber!
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!
Another great save! What a transformation... SAVED from the trash. You're super talented.
Thank you very much!
The second jar you made of a coffee-colored shade looked awfully pretty in the jar
Thanks so much!
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!
Gorgeous as always, Angie! I realized that my motives for watching your transformations have shifted. Instead of viewing them as "ooh what poor abused treasure will she rescue this time," it's become "ooh I hope it's really some broken down ugly thing she lets her imagination go with!" These aren't "ooh ah!" But they are incredible in how you can save an ugly mass produced piece and make it look SO much better than it ever dreamed it could be.
Haha I love it! I'm really glad you like how they turned out.
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!
Yay top 105 comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family.
As usual, they are now high end, desirable pieces. Beautiful!!
Thanks so much for watching!
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 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.
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!
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!
I love how the colour turned out. Much prettier than the original finish.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful teaching,Angie. Thank you.
You're very welcome Nancy!
First, you are correct: the liquid stripper taking the original finish off in globs is ALWAYS one of my fave parts of your videos! So satisfying. Two, I find myself wishing you got these items for free--with your skill and the work you put in, people should be happy to donate them to your very capable hands--also, it's not like there's a stampede of buyers wanting to scoop these pieces up. Three, I still enjoy watching your videos when you work on traditional pieces--especially antique ones!--as much as when you rescue 60s/70s/80s style "laminate" or "faux wood look" type pieces. You are an artist, and how you transform furniture that would otherwise end up in a landfill is nothing short of a miracle, every time. Have to say I don't understand the styling choice by the manufacturer to "distress" the piece with wormholes and worm trails--most people don't want their furniture associated with bugs! In any case, you made these two beat up tables beautiful. As always, great transformation!
I always look forward to your comments. Thank you so much, as always!
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery And I always look forward to your videos, including but not limited to the bunny interludes and appearances by your bosses, the kitties! Give Nacho a tummy rub from moi.
Love the color and soft finish. Makes me think of old leather.
Thank you very much!
I missed the premier! We didn't have intertubes but as soon as I was online again, I stopped by with a cup of coffee to watch this weeks vid! I appreciate the surfprep, but it doesn't have a cool nickname like Mr. DeWalt! I'm glad you explained why people would simulate the pest damage. it was breaking my brain the whole vid. I do like them a little lighter and not as dark as the original finish. they look warmer and more cozy
It's ok Tonja it was at a bit of a different time today! I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed it. ❤️
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! 😊
they look a million times better!! good choice on the colour and for someone who is into this style they will love these!
Thanks so much for watching!
This was a huge improvement on that yellow tone. Well done
Thank you so much for watching!
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!
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!
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!
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! 😊
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!
Those tables ended up looking wonderful😍
Thank you so much!
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
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!
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!
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!
They turned out beautifully, you are very good at mixing just the right stain, so warm and rich!
Thanks Patti!
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!
These two would work well ganged up together as coffee tables in a big room with modern rustic elements. That elegant style with a dry finish goes really well with rustic, primitive, and modern pieces.
They would look great there wouldn't they? Thanks so much for watching!
Honestly... I like men so I've never thought I'd say the phrase "I LOVE WATCHING STRIPPERS" 😂😂😂 Hahaha but I do, I love when you use the stripper and get rid of the old finish and we get to see the natural wood and everything. It's one of my favourite parts to watch! Also I need to learn more about wood. In here we buy (affordable) pine furniture. So I'm buying a dresser and painting it myself because with the job done it was twice the price, plus it would be great to have that to do after finishing work seating in my PC all day 🤦🏼♀️
I'm so happy every time you upload videos! It's the kind of videos that make me happy, cozy, and I'm waiting all week!
Hugs, Angie, and kisses for Nacho 💕
Well, I mean there are male strippers...😉 (Magic Mike et al)
I'm so glad you enjoy my content and good on you for undertaking that project! Thanks so much for always watching! 😊
I love how you took a couple of ugly ducklings and turned them into swans. The heavy treatment of the original finish made them look so dated. Now they can fit into almost any kind of decor as accent pieces. Beautiful.
Thank you so much Janice!
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!
Love the colours you chose! Turned out great!
Thank you so much!
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! 😊
Oh, and you have the best background music.
Thank you!
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. 😀
Awww the one table has two hearts in the middle!!❤❤
Thanks so much for watching!
The stripping was mesmerising!!! 😂
Another great transformation!!! ❤
I agree, it's incredibly satisfying to do. Thanks for watching!
The color turned out so pretty!
Thank you so much!
The old finish is like forbidden salty caramel icecream when scraped!
Forbidden ice cream 😆😆Thanks so 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!
Some people find their talents through trial and error. Some folks are just lucky. Then some of us are lucky enough to work with our talents. It is so fun to watch you enjoy and share your talent. They are beautiful but I come here knowing that….
Thanks so much for watching!
Loved the colour 😍 it really made the beautiful grain and burl just pop out.
Thank you!
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!
These came out gorgeous, Angie!! Most of the wood in my house is this color. So it feels so familiar to me. I just love them. Thanks for not painting the base black.
You're welcome Carrie! I'm glad you like them!! 😊
And...just as a reference, Tasmania has a company called 'Coogans' which was a popular furniture company. Slightly upmarket furniture of decent quality. They used a lot of Tassie Oak, Sasafras and (pre 1970's) Huon pine. Hence why I thought it may have come from here..
Love the warm color with the unique wood grain. This set is very nice, well done!
Thank you!
Odd enough now that I finished this video, I realize I have the same table purchased to repair and restore. Thanks for revealing the techniques and products you used to illustrate the possibilities.
You're so welcome! Best of luck with your piece! 🙂
You asked what type of wood that was. Beautiful wood...that's what kind!!!LOL!!! Seriously, though, those burls...fantastic!
Thank you so much Jerry!
Beautiful!!!!
Thanks!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
That stripper did a great job on those tables! I wish it was available in the 🇬🇧. Good job as always.
Thank you kindly!
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!
these turned out so pretty
Good morning!
Afternoon here but hello!! 😊
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!
So nice!!
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!
Perfect!
Thanks so much Kathy!
Great job as always
Thank you so much!
I learned a lot. Thank you.
You're so welcome! I'm glad I could help!
Those are lovely!
Thank you!
Beautiful as always
Thank you 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! 😃
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!
So much improved---and the color is gorgeous! Your knowledge of wood and finishes, Angie, is remarkable. Love the result.
Thank you so much!!
So Lovely! 💖
Thank you!
very nice
Beautiful job as always
Thank you so much!!
Smashed it!!❤🦘
Thank you very much! 🙂
WOW! Love watching your videos.
Thanks so much!
