I've been woodworking for 45 years (mostly in the Japanese traditions) - the 80 grit before paint stripper - new to me! I'm going to try that next time! Thank you.
This style was pretty popular in America, too, though different manufacturers. The dark cherry tones, etc. thanks for the tip on sanding before applying stripper. In 30 years of work, ive never done that! Great outcome!❤
Wow! I loved watching the finish come off and that beautiful wood underneath. So seldom you get a perfect piece like that. The two tone is perfect. Very elegant as you said. Wonderful job. :)
I remember Stag furniture. You did well to get this for free. It was expensive back in the day. You've given it a new lease of life. Well done. Sonny reminds me of a cherub❤
I can’t believe you got a Stag chest of drawers for free Cole, you jammy bugger! 😁👏They look amazing, the two tone effect is so clever and really highlighted the different wood tones ❤🎉
Wow, what an amazing finish. I would never have considered highlighting the piece in that way. When I saw the stripper taking the finish off I thought, "what a shame they didn't use the same wood all over, now he'll have to stain it to blend it together". Boy was I wrong. This looks fantastic, well done!
Florida USA here. Stunning transformation; I love your hardware, isolated staining and hardware sound effects. Two more things: no electric tools and no chalk paint. 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I make a conscious effort minimise the power tools so people know they don’t need fancy tools to makeover/restore furniture 😎 If I can do it, anyone can!
Absolutely phenomenal transformation! The wood grain is absolutely outstanding gorgeous! Love the two tone accents on the drawers, made it even more beautiful! Little Sonny is absolutely amazing cute! Such a happy little guy! You knocked this one out of the park! Fabulous job! 😊❤
@FlipitNation glad to see Sonny is clearly feeling better! You can almost see the wheels clicking in his brain when he's playing with the flowers! That lil guy is gonna give you a run for your money...lol. Love the piece...I really like the contrast.
What a beautiful dresser it turned out to be. I love the two tone look and you've been knocking it out of the park with two toned pieces these days. I always love to see Sonny and how much he changes from one video to the next. Thanks for another great video! 👍🤟
I absolutely love what you did with this chest of drawers! Wonderful! You also have a new subscriber! Also, if they gave it to you free on Facebook Marketplace, and they want it back, they have no recourse. They can't get it back!
Wow, you certainly know how to highlight the wood features and make this better than what it was brand new back in the day. Bravo! I can see why they want it back......I'd say sure, but it will cost you. lol Well worth the time in watching you bring brand new life back into a tired old piece and make it even better than ever. Props to you!
One of the nicest refinishes I've see yet. Who would have ever thought such a not-so-lovely piece of furniture could look so expensive, hold it's vintage look and have a color that will be timeless. This won't need a refinish 15-20 years from now. Amazing!
Those were brilliant stain and finish combos. Also, the large drawers needed larger pulls. That was a good thought on your part. I really like the antique color for the pulls.
Wow!! You hit this one out of the park!! You absolutely achieved a classic, sexy redo!! Your choices of stain, finish and hardware prove your artistic talent is off the charts!!
What a stunning piece! ❤ 😍 It's so refreshing to see someone actually wearing safety gear. Edit. Omg, plus safety boots!!! And he's not in tight yoga pants with runners or flip flops for shoes😂
What a great find and in such great condition. I bet it's a treat to have a solid piece sometimes. Beautiful job. I love the top with the natural wood in the front! I'll have to agree, the African cherry is gorgeous. Love the pulls too. Thanks for the adorable nature walk. He's just so stinkin' cute!
Oooh! So Gorgeous! Rich and Elegant! You Gave It Some Wonderful Architectural Highlights and the Hardware Really Compliments the Color! Whatever You're Thinking of Charging, Double It! Sonny is as Adorable as Ever! Growing Like a Weed! When Does He Get a Puppy?
OMG I remember that furniture so well. I think the one I wanted had brass circle handles not those clunky Victorian ones. Love what you did beautiful, just like Sonny.❤👏👏
Yes thats right, there were a few extra holes so I though the handles had been changed. Then with the help of google image, I found the ones you are talking about. Thank you vey much 🤗
Had to take a pause when you did during the video to say how adorable Sunny is! His smile and eyes take my heart every time I see him. Such a fortunate kid to have you two for parents and how fortunate for you both to have him! He is just the sun in my day and I couldn’t let the moment pass without letting you know.
Im in Houston, Texas and I love this piece! You picked the perfect hardware!❤
I've been woodworking for 45 years (mostly in the Japanese traditions) - the 80 grit before paint stripper - new to me! I'm going to try that next time! Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
This style was pretty popular in America, too, though different manufacturers. The dark cherry tones, etc. thanks for the tip on sanding before applying stripper. In 30 years of work, ive never done that! Great outcome!❤
I love the contrasting stain work. It really highlights the woodwork and makes the piece look so luxurious and unique!
Gorgeous final result, loving the two toned. I kinda liked the first pulls , but I'm a sucker from brass.😊😊 Thanks for sharing😊😊😊
That might be the tidiest paint stripper job I have ever seen! Wish it was always so orderly.
Wow! I loved watching the finish come off and that beautiful wood underneath. So seldom you get a perfect piece like that. The two tone is perfect. Very elegant as you said. Wonderful job. :)

The finished piece is better than new. It's a work of art.
And that wood...Wow!
Thank you so much, very kind!
I can’t believe you got a Stag chest of drawers for free Cole, you jammy bugger! 😁👏They look amazing, the two tone effect is so clever and really highlighted the different wood tones ❤🎉

Love it!❤❤ Sonny makes my day, thank you from an old lady living in the woods of Tennessee USA
I loved watching your process! Your methodical approach was very satisfying! Fantastic end result ❤
@FlipitNation glad to see Sonny is clearly feeling better! You can almost see the wheels clicking in his brain when he's playing with the flowers! That lil guy is gonna give you a run for your money...lol.
Love the piece...I really like the contrast.
This is a beautiful piece. You really highlighted the different woods.
Sonny is just adorable! Give him and his mom an extra hug and cuddle.

Thank you very much Annie, I really appreciate you watching my videos! As does Sonny :)
Great job! I love everything about your channel!

Stunning! Sonny is so cute! Love him.

Outstanding work. Choosing to highlight the different woods was a stroke of brilliance. Sonny is adorable. Thanks for a wonderful video.
Thank you very much, the two tone really paid off in the end :)
What a lucky find. The piece was gorgeous after your work. And Sonny is just adorable. Love his smile.
Very lucky find, I thought someone would have picked it up before I got there! Yes, he has a very infectious smile 😊 Thank you for watching!
🤯the pre sand before the stripper tip could be a game changer for me, thanks!
It has made a huge difference for me, hope it helps you too 😎
Quite a smart look! 🙌🙌
I absolutely love what you did with this chest of drawers! Wonderful! You also have a new subscriber! Also, if they gave it to you free on Facebook Marketplace, and they want it back, they have no recourse. They can't get it back!
Great job. The contrasting colors go really well together!
From ok to stunning! I don't believe I have ever seen African Cherry before but it is beautiful. Nice job as always!
You have done a fantastic job on that piece
Distinguished finish just awesome!
Wow, you certainly know how to highlight the wood features and make this better than what it was brand new back in the day. Bravo! I can see why they want it back......I'd say sure, but it will cost you. lol Well worth the time in watching you bring brand new life back into a tired old piece and make it even better than ever.

I love it, it's stunning. Your son is looks happy ever time you show him. He's adorable.
Think your use of 80 grit sandpaper before the paint stripper is absolutely brilliant!!! It makes so much sense.

A job well done!👏🏻 The dresser really looks classy.
The dresser is stunning and Sonny is adorable as always.
Thank you so much, we appreciate it 😊

He is a cutie 😎 Thanks for watching!
Those were brilliant stain and finish combos. Also, the large drawers needed larger pulls. That was a good thought on your part. I really like the antique color for the pulls.
You did an amazing job!
This piece is stunning!
Wow, that was just a random piece of furniture, you made it look amazing!
I love the way the different staining spurned out!
Me too, thank you!

Haha, these legs weren’t built for yoga pants, I wouldn’t put my viewers through that torture 😂😂

That finish is absolutely stunning. Your best piece to date....obviously not including gorgeous young Sonny
Thank you very much, so kind! 🙏
Absolutely stunning ❤❤
Beautifully done. I love the juxtaposition of the dark edge on the drawers to the light edge on the top.
Thank you so much! 😊
Congrats from Hungary
You have creativity and vision
It turned out pretty and rich-looking.
Now that’s a beauty. I learned some great ideas from today’s video.
Beautiful! I enjoyed the Sonny break too!
Oh there goes my heart!!!❤ this piece would bring a fortune in Dallas, Texas! You have such good intuition... Bless you and you sweet family!😊
Just gorgeous. I definitely vote two thumbs up for the contrast job.
Great, thank you so much :)
I’m in Australia but if I lived in the UK I would’ve snapped this piece up in a heartbeat,it turned out amazing awesome job 👏👏👏
This simply gorgeous! It’s so beautiful! By the way your little guy is adorable ❤️
Wow! So much better than the original finish!
Fantastic indeed!
Two different tones/colors was a great idea, and WELL executed!
Glad you liked it! Thank you :)
I remember getting a full bedroom suite made by Stag as a wedding present ,,I've still got it and it still looks great
Very gorgeous!!! And your son... too dang cute!!! Enjoy the years with him ❤
Cherry is my favorite. I've had many pieces in Cherry but this African Cherry is just stunning. Your ideas were perfect. Beautiful finish, Cole
Thank you so much, very kind! Yes this wood was incredible, so lovely to work with!
You did a great job! That chest of drawers will live on for another 60 odd years!😂 Beautiful 👍🇨🇦
Thank you very much :)
Well that turned out beautifully. Well done, it looks amazing.
Another fantastic job! And great to see Sonny out and about and so happy!

One major component though, 30 seconds of Sunny is WAY too short!!!
Beautiful job and the choice of staining is perfect.
Love it. You sir have a good eye. Ps, your son is adorable.❤️
Amazing work! You created a piece that will be a focal point of any room!
Thank you so much 😊
Wow. Excellent decision on making that piece shine. 10/10
