    I love that you can make a piece of furniture beautiful without seeming to change it at all - the essence of restoration, I suppose. 😊

      Thank you, sometimes the old saying "Less is more" describes restoration.

    Lovely job and those Solid Oak drawers were a great find. I really liked the waxed finish on the natural wood, great choice buddy 😀👍

      Thanks, the only problem I have is that after 5 videos, three of the pieces now reside in my house, I need to stop my wife from nabbing them 🙂

    The little birdie is so cute! Please thank him for the cameo appearance.
    I could almost hear the wood sigh when it was soaking up that wax. The new finish is absolutely gorgeous. I love how well the hardware spruced up, too.

    People who say you ruined this have clearly no understanding of furniture. This is a solid oak piece and not an antique yet, and all you did was clean off the old tired and damaged dark wood stain to give it a refreshed and natural finish that also nurtured the wood. Well done 👍🏼 it must be so tiring to read negative comments when all you want to do is show people how it’s done.

    This is lovely !! I'm so glad you did the natural wood. I love oak, even though some say it has gone out of style. God bless you!!

    • @RhooseRestorations
      @RhooseRestorations  8 місяців тому

      Thank you! Dark varnish is definitely out of fashion and I see no reason to keep it for tradition's sake (except for genuinely valuable antiques)!

    • @lorie76yt
      @lorie76yt 7 місяців тому +1

      Saying any kind of wood has gone out of style seems strange to me - also dark stain, light stain or in between, it’s all just a matter of taste
      I know plenty of people who are getting darker stains on their wood right now, or lighter, even bleached 🤷🏻‍♀️
      Fashion is fleeting, wood is forever 😄 Anyway that dresser looks gorgeous, great job! 👍🏻

    What a huge difference! You did a nice job filling that wood missing at the lock area and then shaping it and touching up the color. Were curious. Do you sell your restorations online or at a market? We always wonder what the restorers do with all the furniture they fix.

    Oops there was me thinking I had watched all your videos and I was wrong 😂
    Beautiful end result now the question is did your wife nab it or did you actually get to sell it ? 😂 I hope you got a good price if sold because you deserved it for transforming that beauty 😊

    Хорошая работа! Но отверстия и дефекты я бы заделывал не не шпаклёвкой, а деревянными заглушками (вставками).

    Is that a dollhouse you have in your shop? If so do you make them and is it for sale?

    • @RhooseRestorations
      @RhooseRestorations  6 місяців тому

      @patriciagraves752 Yes, it's a dolls house from the 1930s, Art Deco style inside. I got it from a local auction and am in process of renovating it. It's home made and does not open at the front like a traditional dolls house. Maybe I'll do a video on it. I don't make them but I may sell it once it's finished! Keep an eye out for some updates!!
