HERE’S HOW I DID IT!
I found this vintage, solid maple MCM Crawford desk at an estate sale buyer for $60 (it was originally $120, so I got a steal!). Maple is always a difficult one for me, but I couldn’t say no to such a good price. Even with that ugly dark stain on the top!
+ first I cleaned it. I’m always asked why I clean before sanding… well, one, it’s sanitary. Two, it helps me see what I’m working with better. And three, my sanding pads don’t gum up as fast which leads to a decreased cost of supply and increased profit margin.
+ I sanded with 120 grit using my @festool orbital
+ applied oxalic acid from @realmilkpaintco … which typically works, but I think this was more of a burn stain not an iron stain
+ I tried to iron, but that also didn’t work
+ I then pre-conditioned the piece with @myoldmasters oil-based pre conditioner. I let the piece sit overnight
+ then stained with one coat of a fruitwood gel stain. I would’ve used General Finishes Prairie Wheat, but I didn’t have any left
+ I used my veneer touchup paint kit to color correct the stain. I used yellow and orange to counteract the brown stain. Once that dried, I went in with an oak color. I mixed the oak color with walnut for the graining detail
+ I sealed everything up with several coats of a semi-gloss lacquer!!
I definitely need to improve and practice on my inline painting skills… but I’m pretty proud of my first attempt. This piece is over all pretty splotchy and aged, so its imperfect repair kind of fits right in, haha!
Now… how much do I list this for?!?!

Restoration she did was good it made a good video for UA-cam
Thanks!
Did you let the oxalic acid sit until it was dry?
@@mcm.walnuter3479 yes, I did it multiple times. It didn’t work bc this was an ink stain
@@thefurnituredoctor ahhhh ok makes sense! I also should have read the title 😅
Can I ask how you decided what colors to paint that stain? A voice over on how you worked on fixing that stain would be so helpful! The kind of paint you used and what was the final step? The red was the one I was confused by. And what was the last color/product that worked the best? Thanks!
the table matches the mid century dresser on your shorts video that you bought for $100 and sold $800 the drawer handles are the same... 😍😍😍
Thank you!!
Hi,
I've just found your channel and have subscribed. I love your work.
I'd like to ask you something if I may. Firstly, when you saw the $10 Saarinen dresser on Facebook Marketplace, how did you know its true value? Have you a great deal of knowledge regarding furniture? Secondly, if you found an interesting piece of furniture but didn't know much about it, do you have a reference (books/a website etc) where you can go to find out details such as the age of the piece, its designer and it's worth?
Thank you!!
