    My grandparents had this style of furniture in their apartment in Odessa. I loved it, I remember crying when they replaced it with a lacquered wall to wall unit that everyone wanted to have at the time…

    Another beauty from another era. Loving the two tones of the wood. It’s so striking.
    I’m really impressed that you made the proper knobs for it.
    I really believe when it comes to knowing your different pieces of furniture you definitely know it.
    So good to see you back you’ve been missed.
    ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟👏

      Ich bin begeistert, das sie immer beim Stil des Möbelstücks auch in den Details bleiben. Sie verdecken nicht Unzulänglichkeiten mit irgendeiner bunten Farbe sondern werden dem Charakter des Holzes gerecht

    Well, another masterpiece from the master artist. The attention to detail right down to casting the knobs made this restoration a beautifully finished 1940s period piece. ❤ Keep perfecting your skills and I can't wait to see your next restoration. 🙂👍

    I had a stand in my home like this when I was a kid in the 70’s. I believe it was a stand to hold your telephone and the cubby was a place for your phone book. This brand msg back memories, fantastic job as usual.

    I love the indented shelf! Very clever designs from the Deco Era. You have done a fantastic job restoring this piece. Thanks for naming the wood.
    Some of us like to know these things. Flaming Birch is a good name for the fabulous wood grain. Again, this is a great piece of furniture restored with care and skill. Thanks!

  • @lyndseybeaumont7301
    @lyndseybeaumont7301 9 місяців тому +7

    This is a lovely transformation. I love the definitive difference between the dark wood and the light trims. I imagine it may have started life that way, but over time blurred more into a muted difference. It’s a great restoration xx

  • @autodidactin
    @autodidactin 9 місяців тому +9

    The wood grain in this piece is just beautiful. I always get excited when the tiny brushes come out because it means some grain detail is about to be perfectly restored. Furniture hardware is just another topic of which you seem to have encyclopedic knowledge for materials and design. Beautiful, Ahti, as always.

    The thing that I find amazing while at the same time makes me realize why a lot of pieces are tossed is that something that looks like it only has at most stain and varnish can actually have beautifully patterned wood underneath that's for the most part invisible! The veneer on this piece, gorgeous! Totally worth saving

  • @Vickie-Bligh

    Смотрела где-то 5 или 6 работ разных реставраторов. Но Ваш спектр возможностей самый широкий. Непревзойденно широкий: и золочение, и настоящая аутентичная обтяжка мебели, воссоздание отсутствующих частей и фурнитуры, много еще чего я не знаю, я любопытствую из-за дочки. У нее факультет Истории искусств. Вам нужно найти источник интересных сложных экземпляров для дальнейшего раскрытия Вашего таланта и возможностей роста. Простые вещи хороши, если Вы даете уроки мастерства для новичков. Но Вы Мастер Экстра-класса, поэтому хорошо бы показывать и сложные операции на редких экземплярах...

    Such beautiful veneers! Many people think that using veneers on less beautiful wood is wasteful. I disagree. Only a rich person could afford to have solid wood furniture made from such an expensive wood. Your project turned out beautifully.
    Another thing that I enjoy about your channel is how you show/teach others how to use tools, equipment & techniques that are accessible to a home woodworker. Using small pallet knives to insert glue under loose veneers, using a manual vacuum pump to remove bubbles from molded epoxy parts, creative use of paint pens to blend in repairs... I have learned some very useful things from watching your videos. Thanks Ahti!

    I cannot begin to guess the amount of time that must go into editing this content. I tried to think about it and stopped, and just started watching your perfectionist skill and humble respect for these pieces you bring back to life...Dr Frankenstein did it with limited knowledge! His result worked, sorta, but the flaws were fatal. Yours are so perfect, honest, and respectful, but so are you! I work in clay, which is forgiving...you work in wood which is not...unless one is a master, which you, obviously, are. I look forward to each and every video. Thank you for not making me listen to crummy music approved and licensed and thus available to you., here, within this platform. ...I delight in the sounds of your studio..
