OMG I think that mess ended up looking better than it did coming out of the furniture factory! ! ! You really are at the top of your craft!
Thankyou!
Things I learned from trena
How to glue
How to clamp up the work piece
Use the right yool😊
Don't rush
It never fails to amaze me how you bring back something that looks too far gone, to something beautiful. Great skills. ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
WOW!!! A star is born from a pile of sad, old, tired wood! What a Cinderella story. That was wonderful to watch! You really worked some skilled magic. I had no doubt it would look really nice....but it far surpasses really nice! Stunning! 💫
Many years ago I was the supervisor in the retouching department of Electrohome's Deilcraft Furniture division. We had 8-9 people who did this sort of thing all day, every day. they were real artists but you are every bit as good as they were if not better. Very nice work.
Yea I remember the days of the in house repairman. Mowhawk and star chemical had classes they could take
You're saving humanity - one piece of furniture at a time. Old cars, old furniture, old art, it's a legacy that MUST be preserved and passed on to future generations. Without the past, who are we? Bravo, Trena!
Agreed. Thankyou
I continue to stand in awe at your eye for color and techniques in applying finishes.
Great work. Just amazing.
Thankyou
Even when new, I doubt it looked that good! Genius. Keep learning from your Dad, he has one amazing daughter.
Bless you both.
Thanks so much
Hour+ complicated restorations are my absolute favorite type of video, and this one is amazing 🤩
Glad you liked it!!
Talent, skill, experience. Lady you have it.
I couldn't agree more!
WOW! Talk about bringing it back from the brink of death. What amazing work indeed. I can't understand how pieces like this are left to the elements etc and truly disrespected. Thank goodness you exist to give it life once again. Simply magnificent job Trenna.
Thankyou
lack of skills a death etc.. I get clocks from a packer resale shop. some for 5 bucks, other dark wood no one uses now. makes great projects. I just leave door and sides off modern now
Your knowledge and talent are AMAZING 😍
I am in awe.
You are the first artist I have witnessed to tackle restoring a print finish.
You are the leader of the pack.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much
I do not think you are nuts. Your restorations are the utmost in beauty. Thank you,
Glad you like them!
Just can't believe how you managed to get such a fantastic match to the original. Superb. Thank you, Trena for sharing this with us.
My pleasure!
This is not just a furniture repair. This is an art. Brilliant!!!
I struggle putting on a clear finish….Trena just says, I’m going to be hand painting all of the faux wood grain! 😂
Lol
I struggle with poly big time, too. Maybe someday we can enter Trena’s orbit LOL
Your patience is extraordinary. It certainly is a virtue. Excellent work.
Thank you very much!
You are the Michael Angelo of furniture restoration. Your attention to detail is second to none. Excellent work as always. 😁 Hi from Scotland.
Wow, thanks!
You are a genius, a real master craftswoman!
I am flabbergasted! To think that a faux finish could look that authentic. Such a wonderful save..I!m a fan of really good faux finishes and you took this to the next level..
Thank you Trena for tackling that graining! My entire house, all the doors, baseboards, and window/door frames are faux grained. I'm slowly working/learning how to repair chipped graining. You do beautiful work, especially the blending and toning.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you would do an amazing restoration after last years clock.
It's so nice to see these beautiful old wood finishes restored and preserved. I want to cry every time I see one fall into the hands of a Joanna Gaines devotee who slathers it with chalk paint and "antiquing wax". It ought to be a crime.
You're simply the best! Amazing restoration
Wow, what an eye! You truly have a gift, Trena! Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
this girl is the best really at the top of her craft
Maybe a little nutty. 😂 glad you're spending more time with your father. I'm sure he loves having you there with him.🙏
That piece really came out looking amazing. You're soooo talented. ❤
Thankyou!
You are a magician! What a difference!!! It's beautiful!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing! Going from being destined to the burn pile to being the most cherished piece in the home! The woodgrain on that piece is gorgeous!
Yes! Thank you!
WOW!!!!! Unbelievable transformation. Wonderfull job Trena, congratularions! I love it.
You are amazing!

So glad you are with your family and still learning! Amazing restoration. Your attention to detail is what makes your finished piece look spectacular.

Thankyou
I just love watching a furniture artist at work! Thankyou for teaching us so much.
You are so welcome!
Wow!!! This has to be one of your best efforts. Amazing outcome. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
We started stripping an antique library table only to find that it was not tiger oak but a faux finish. It is a big peirce and I always wondered how it was cheaper to do all that graining by hand instead of oak veneer. You have solved the mystery. It was printed on. I would like to know more about printed finishes, as I have never heard of them before.
Yes they had rollers with dye stain. It was done rather quickly
Wow! Another magnificent job! It looks beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very beautiful work, A master piece. Thanks
You are a wizard! Amazing job!
Thank you! Cheers!
You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You can however make a lovely dresser. At least you can. Congratulations. Master at work.
Thank you! 😊
Trena, this piece is just …. wow! The end result has to be one of your absolute best, I am just in awe!
Thankyou Diane!
Truly beautiful. Amazing workmanship
Hi, Trena, I'm Antique dealer and restore furniture from the UK, that is the best piece of furniture I have seen been restored on UA-cam, I have to take my hat off to you girl, your brilliant at what you do, XXX
Thanks so much!
Incredible!! That’s craftsmanship and artistry combined!!! Love it!❤
Thankyou!
You are the lord and savior of nostalgic pieces.
Lol oh dear
You are an amazing artist. You are absolutly gifted. Congratulations. BRAVO Trena c'est magnifique,
Thank you very much!
Awesome job! from "junk" to "gem"
Wow! Incredible, Trena! (But I’m not really surprised…❤)
Incredible! Your talent is amazing.
To answer your question: Yes. You are nuts, but in an especially wonderful way!
This piece really shows how remarkable your work is. Truly a great job! Thanks for the video.
Thanks again!
Cannot believe how talented you are! It is amazing ❤
Thank you so much!
OMG Trena, What a fantastic job. Such a beautiful piece! Thank you for bringing me along!
You are so welcome
Incredible workmanship! Beautiful job. My favourite line was, “thank the Lord in heaven!,” a true prairie girl if ever there was one.❤
Lol
Oh my goodness. What amazing job you did. You are so talented so incredible. Turned out gorgeous. ❤
Thank you so much!
Here I am, 4 days late to the party and I just finished watching your video.
They need to come up with some more superlatives I can use - this labor of love surpasses all the words - wonderful, fantastic, amazing, incomparable - there are! Your patience and the way you paint each stroke as if you're listening for the piece to whisper directly to your brush, guiding it in the way it should go, is an incredible sight to witness.
There was quite a lot to be repaired, too, but the repairs paled in comparison to the restoration of that gorgeous faux tiger finish. In the end, it was a beautifully restored, mirrored dresser any woman of its original time would be proud to place in her home. As would any woman of any time since, today included. I'm inordinately pleased that you were so intent on restoring it. It has such a lovely shape and a real presence that's unusual in a small dresser. Thank you for returning it to better than its original glory.
BTW, you seem so contented in this video. It's a joy to see and feel you so peaceful. 🌸🩷🌸
Happy Leap Day!
