RESTORING a vintage walnut side table - WOOD REFINISHING with ODIE'S OIL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- This beat up, wobbly vintage walnut side table I found at a thrift store for $3. The finish was flaky and cracked, the base had a previous repair that had failed. But I saw potential here! It's solid walnut, Canadian made, and I'm going to attempt to refinish this piece of furniture with some elbow grease, wood glue, and Odie's Oil!

When using very fine sandpaper my grandfather taught me to rub 2 sheets together so you basically sand down the sandpaper. It is to remove any high bits on the paper. My grandfather taught me how to French polish and with this method getting smooth sandpaper the polished table I did looked like glass. Hope this helps.
Just beautiful....!
What is French finish?
Cause me-French finish
French Polish is using shellac mixed with linseed oil. The oil slows the drying time of the shellac. It takes many thin coats, with sanding in between.
Thank you. How do you apply the shellac? It sounds as if you learned from a master!
New subscriber. My blood pressure seems to drop while I watch these videos. The relationship you have with the wood, the respect for the wood working traditions and your kindness with the amateurs that have left obvious trails is nourishing. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by projects, but your unhurried way reminds me to take pleasure in the process. I also learn helpful things each time. Thank you!!!
That was beautifully written and I agree. I get that same feeling of deep relaxation watching her work with wood. Her respect for the people watching and the furniture she restores soothes and inspires my antique collecting heart. She is a true artist and craftswoman.
What a beautiful, touching thing to say! I am honored. I'm so very glad you're enjoying my content and finding it helpful. Thank you so very much for watching and leaving such an incredibly thoughtful comment. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Patrice! ❤️
I was actually just saying this. This is cathartic and it makes me feel calm. I seriously love this channel.
I agree...definitely stress relief
I looked up Paul Pelletier since he's from my hometown. He recently passed away at 92! I'm sure he would have loved to see you restore this table so beautifully.
I don’t understand why people don’t love furniture like this. Every piece has a story. All the people who used it in the past etc. And trust me, if I lived near you I would be buying most of the things you restore. If I could afford delivery and shipping I would buy have them here in the UK! Love your channel. New subscriber! 🖤
Welcome to the channel, I'm so glad you love my pieces. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
@@TranscendFurnitureGallery Completely agree with Marian missing out in the UK....Love this little table.
Me too - it’s gorgeous! 💕💕💕
In Europe antique furniture has more quest than in US; we have an older history and we love this type of furniture; but depend on people: some like new and modern furniture!
Somehow I feel like each piece of furniture you refinish is taking a deep breath , sigh and they speak “ At Last “ …♥️ so beautiful .
Aww thank you !
i'm so glad to see you restore the wood instead of just painting the whole thing some weird color, like so many "diy furniture restoring" people do! i love wood, i love it's texture and colors and it saddens me to see people covering beautiful wood up
thats because the colors most diy furniture flippers paint these pieces with are trendy so they sell faster. which isn’t a bad thing. wood is still wood even when you paint over it. if painting over solid wood keeps it from getting thrown into the landfill, i’m all for it.
Yes !!!!!
Agreed. I dunno, i've seen some flips like that and they're cute but I personally find it hard to paint over wood, just feels wrong. The worst is like with cabins with actual pine panels (not the 70s faux panels), it's very in to paint them white and i'm like 'NOOOO!!!! blasphemy to cover up natural wood grain!'. lol. but at least I've come to know it's not totally permanent if someone ever wants to strip it...still....I'm with you on this.. Still, I think some things are best restored not covered up.

Excellent point! 🤗
I'm with you on that!
Both are nice
The style is called Duncan Phyfe. They were notorious for getting wobbly on the single pedestal tables. You could always put the makers label back on after you are done. The pieces on the pedestal that you had to fill would have been flush when it was made but due to shrinking over the years of one piece or the other the pieces separate a bit. My grandma had a dining table like that and those were problems as it aged.
Thanks for watching!
I have a little round tea table I'm now inspired to work on.
It makes me so happy to see such a fine old piece restored to its rightful glory. Thanks for sharing this!
OMGGGGG ! 3 bucks for that !
you couldn't have done better with a gun and mask ! 😂
the finished table is BETTER THAN NEW ! ...if only I could give this a thousand likes , I would
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg - you have to be an East Coaster with a saying like that!! 🤣🤣🤣 You made my day! Best wishes (wherever you live) to you for the holiday season - from the West Coast!! 🥰🎄🥂
@@ugottabkidding...9942 LoL nope We're in Stagecoach (near Houston) and I can't even get a wobbly/stinky stick of firewood for $3 much less a wobbly/stinky table 🤣😂Merry Kissmoose from Texas ! #gigglesnortgiggle
Not only do I love your work ethic and how careful you are and and how lovingly you restore pieces, but I have to say, your delivery: How much you tell us, all the details, the speed (which is PERFECT) with which you show us and the voice over, is the most SATISFYING of any restoration show I've seen. DON'T CHANGE A THING! I love your videos and I'm subscribed!
The top of the table is beautiful! The little claw feet look great. Just the right amount of patina with the right amount of shine. It will sell. It’s just waiting for the right person.🌸
Deborah, I agree just beautifully done!
What a transformation!
Absolutely! Someone is going to get this precious piece so lovingly restored and treasure it forever!
I am a retired interior designer - and this piece is so gorgeous now. Your hard work shows off the wood so wonderfully! I love to add a piece or two of older pieces in a home so that you can see the heritage of a family. Eclectic is my preferred style - I put the quality of the piece as the thing that makes them all join together so that it fits as a collection.
Some friends we knew had some eclectic family heirlooms and when she would mix and match styles in her rooms, she called it "juxtaposing"! A great word for combining styles. All you have to do is pull them all together with similarly colored throws or sofa pillows or artwork.....just little pops of color repeated throughout the room which is like connecting dots to create a color theme which pulls together all those varied styles of furnishings. You may not want to go as broad as, say, a Gothic arched bookshelf with a Victorian bentwood rocker with a MCM buffet, but adding one or two of them in a room with other coordinated furnishings that follow a general theme can work especially if the woods are similar colors, the handles of drawers are similar from piece to piece, or the textures, shapes, or other design motifs are similar.
Beautiful! I'd love to see your work. You are a rare commodity today
It is so hard to believe the transformation of these old wood pieces. Seeing how dull and lifeless they are at the beginning, and how much they glow with warmth at the end, has become one of my favorite things. Thank you for putting up videos like this!
You're very welcome!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Angie, I grew up with parents who loved antiques and collected them, and I've seen many tables like this one down through the years. You did a BEAUTIFUL job on the restoration! I applaud you for waiting to preserve the beauty of that wallet on this piece. Just a lovely job. Truthfully, I watched a number of your videos and I'm always impressed with your eye and what you do and why, even when you paint some pieces. This lovely wallet table is certainly happier now that it was restored by you! Thanks!
Thank you Gayle, for getting my vision! I appreciate you!!
My grandmother had a lot of furniture like this, except hers was uniformly dark. Your natural finish gives a lovely upgrade to the style, Angie. Well done!
From SC USA. Great job restoring....so glad you did not paint it....y'all have a wonderful Christmas...can't wait to see what you are working on next.
I love the dark aged furniture as well the fresh look.
Yes! I love the natural finish way more!!
In the US we call this Duncan Phyfe style, popular in the 1940-50s in imitation of when the real Phyfe lived a uhmm much longer time ago
Gorgeous! It shocks me how people don't appreciate real wood pieces and tend to lean toward painted plywood "modern" types. I appreciate your love of restoring furniture.
Thank you very much!
Angie, I say it every time but the respect you use when restoring furniture is so beautiful to witness. This piece turned out amazing.
Usually, I'm not a fan of narration, it slows down the work, all that talking to the camera. Yours, on the other hand, done in the voice-over style, is a welcome addition to the work! You have a great, welcoming style and a sweet voice that is SOOO easy on the ears.
You know someone is talented when they make it look this easy.
$175 is an amazing price for that beautiful piece. Most people have awful taste but lucky is the one that sees the beauty of this restored piece and buys it!
Just a stunning piece now. I can't believe someone hasn't fallen in love with it and purchased it. Beautiful.
I just watched a beautiful Lady restore a fantastic piece of history. I continue to learn so much from you.
Knowing the price of solid walnut, that's a steal. Luckily, the top was not battered, so it looks perfect without wood filler.
Looks a thousand times better, clean, natural and fresh. Once again I really appreciate how you let the wood grain be the star of the show. Any piece that gets into your hands is very fortunate!
Thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you like how it turned out. 😀
Another piece where you can almost hear it sighing with relief and saying "someone gets me" well done. I love watching your videos. Happy holidays from Southern Ontario 🙂
Well said. My feeling exactly I just couldn't put it into words.
30 years ago I did refinishing. I was always looking for an upgrade. I gave all my projects a tung oil finish. Lots of work but worth it. I really enjoyed watching you work
Yeah, we went through the tung oil "thang" in the late 1970s.
Ive used both, and i strongly suspect odies has tung oil as a major component!
Lovely! This is a style of furniture that would fit very well into our current house. We have a 1960’s Cinderella-rustic inspired ranch style house, with a lot of wood, French provincial revival cabinetry, scalloped wood trim, etc.
Beautiful ! Here's a hopeful thought - that as authentic wood is becoming more rare and more expensive, maybe people will become more appreciative of these old treasures. The natural wood is so Beautiful ! Thank for restoring these old friends.
You're very welcome! ☺️
Thank you for knowing this piece needed to be restored and not painted. It's absolutely beautiful.
To me it's the same concept of decorating ones home to suit you and your family. When it comes time to sell, so be if it takes a little longer to sell. The right person will come along and love it.
I’m sitting here on a Sunday morning, and your video popped up in my algorithm. I am truly amazed at your work and your attention to detail. I have antique furniture all in my house from generations within my family. I absolutely love that you restored this piece to it’s original (better than!) state. Thank you for bringing these old pieces back to life and giving them the attention they deserve. ❤️
This girl's got talent. I'm sure it'll look fantastic!
Hang in there..someone will b wise enough to see the value of this piece…you made it so beautiful..who wouldn’t b proud to show it off in there home…it’s a great deal…you worked hard and if I could I would buy it and love looking at it every day.
An outstanding labor-of-love! It's now beyond better than new. I appreciate your respect for 'history' of the table. Definitely not made as disposable furniture. I have my late parents Duncan Phyfe mahogany dining room and bedroom furniture. Once back in my home I can pull everything from storage and actually allow those beauties to breathe again. Although not my style the furniture has been part of my life since birth - over 7 decades now. So many memories! (There's an old warehouse building now utilized for selling furniture and furnishings. It hurts me to see the same chest-of-drawers being sold for $90, dresser/mirror for $125, double head/footboard for $35.)
I have my parents dining set, too. Due to damage I may have to paint part of the buffet and the chairs. I am 72 and they were purchased shortly after I was born.
I know I’m probably in the minority but I love the older pieces you do like this table. Mid century modern leaves a lot to be desired. Wish I could visit your shop. I learn a lot just watching you.
Love your work. I used to do it myself and know what you mean about people not understanding the labor involved. I used to tell people there were two reasons to spend money on old furniture. 1) It's been determined to have value as a collector item. 2) it has sentimental value to you or your family. Beyond that it's firewood. Keep at it!
Wow, what a transformation! I'm certain that the average person has no idea just how much work went into this. What a beauty
Thank you for teaching me to appreciate not painted but, restored pieces.
I’m just seeing this video now. It brings me joy to watch these. My brother ( we lost him in 2015) loved refinishing furniture. He taught me a lot. He refinished my father’s high chair from 1921. He refinished many other pieces with such diligence such as you. I cannot do this type of projects due to right rotator cuff injury/surgery and dislocated ulnar. ( I’m right hand dominant). I picked up 🧶 crocheting again during the pandemic and made dozens of pieces, however, my eyes and fine motor skills are failing. THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing joy to my heart. Much pleasure especially when you use the rotary sander. Remain blessed!! 😊
Thank you so much for watching, I'm so glad I could bring back some fond memories for you! ❤️
Beautiful! I love this table. Its too bad that people don't appreciate old style furniture! Thanks for resurrecting this table.
I love this table. I really like your channel. I like to see someone actually take their time with antique furniture and redo it as original. So beautiful!
Thanks so much for watching!
I love how beautiful the walnut is with the oil finish! Don't know when this was made but in the mid-1950s seems everyone had at least one piece of this style of table in their home. Some were 3 tiered round ones.
Thank you for not milk painting and distressing this cute little table!! Awesome job!!
Oh MY WORD ! What an amazing transformation ! Scarcely looks like the same table .. and that beautiful wood grain you exposed and brought out with your finishing techniques .. ! Stunning !!!
I like that you considered the future repairs on the leg glue-up. It’s smart to make pieces easy to work with in the future!
I love the result, especially the new, natural shade. It's a solid wood table and worth restoring. The video shows what modern plastic glue can do, especially when too much of it gets onto the wood. The restoration then takes a lot of time. Bone glue is at least as strong as modern artificial glue, but it is easier to renew or remove. For worm-eaten holes or small imperfections, I prepare a paste of bone glue and sawdust. It's very efficient.
You are remarkably talented and gifted. I love to see someone with so much love for reviving, restoring and so sympathetically re-purposing beautiful wooden objects with such thoughtfulness, consideration, appreciation and care.
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
That turned out beautiful! I absolutely agree, there are pieces that cry out for revitalizing, rather than a completely different change. So glad you brought this piece back to it's original beauty!
Spectacular. Nothing more beautiful than a natural finish.
HAND SANDING: When I had a lot of the same routed edges to sand, I found it worth the time to make a custom sanding block. I put blue tape on a clean section of the routed edge (including little molding dams around the sides), and used Durham’s Rock Hard Water Putty to make a mold; a 3” long block of the NEGATIVE of the edge, then used rubber-backed sand paper to squish in place while sanding all the curves at once. Saved my fingertips from a lot of grief, and did probably a better job than I would have done without the little custom block. For interior curves, I made a shorter one, about 1” long, using the curved area to cast the block. The rubber-backed sandpaper was essential, because it conforms much better than any paper-backed kind would. For the block, any epoxy putty or even thick plaster might work. I just had the Water Putty handy, and it’s cheap.
Brown wood furniture is coming back into fashion. 😍
What an amazing piece and restoration. I love furniture where you can see the beauty of the wood. $175 is a deal for that piece and anyone who buys it will be lucky to have it. Beautiful!!
Sanding solid wood is such a wonderful feeling. Slow is fast with an orbital…so good.
What a beautiful restoration. I'm so happy you're doing longer format videos. They're great.
That’s a beautiful piece. I’m so glad you saved it. Someone with good taste and fashion sense will buy it.
Thanks to your examples, I've started using Odie's Oil products on my own refinishing projects, and it really is remarkable how easy it is to use given the amazing finish it produces. The only problem I've had is that it has lifted some of the oil-based stain from some wood. Overall, a complete game-changer for my projects.
That was a great save, I love what you said about sanding with light pressure and moving slow, I see so many people using orbitals like sanding blocks
Growing up we had something similar. It was wobbly too. When you were putting on the oil and butter I was like 😍 obviously, I love walnut lol. Excellent work!
Your attention to detail is what makes your work so special!
Thank you! 😁
Unbelievable how stunning this piece turned out! Beautiful.
This is a poem written in wood. You are a true artist. Congrats!
I really love how you do your job with such precision and care. The end result is beauty that comes from a combination of the natural materials and the quality of the workmanship.
That’s so pretty oh my gosh. As much as I love mid century modern furniture, this just has so much character and the fact that it’s solid wood…! I wish That oil was something one could get in Europe.
Funny, the satisfaction that you get with your orbital and hand sanding, I get watching your videos! I'm not sure if it's your soothing voice, the education *I think* I'm getting, the encouragement I'm psyching myself into trying this myself, or the fact that my manicure still looks fabulous afterwards, BUT I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
I could watch you work all day. So carefully, expertly, intuitively and lovingly restored. Really pleasant listening to your commentary as as you work away too. A true master artisan.
Thank you so much 😊
Well That’s a keeper! Totally charming:) worth so much more than $175! Now because of your sweet transformation, it’ll be hard to pass up these little orphans begging me to take them home for a makeover!
To me natural restored wood is more beautiful than any painted surface. You did a great job.
100 bucks says she nails this one outta the park.
Wow! I‘m in awe- with how much love and respect you treat those pieces…❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Angie, your work has really inspired me to start my own flipping furniture shop, I have some experience in wood but seeing your awesome art has helped me to make the move, thanks.
If I were a few decades younger I would consider doing it too. At age 71 and not terribly flexible of body, I enjoy watching the love Angie lavishes on pieces you might first think belong in a dumpster. And hey, she may have found a few IN a dumpster. Who knows? I am just impressed with how she can figure out the types of woods these pieces are, and can visualize the finished piece even before starting.....you have to know woods, how they look, the grains, and then the products best used to bring out the particular qualities of the woods. I am so glad she doesn't just slap paint over the whole surface immediately. It really puts those other furniture flippers who do that to shame. I don't care if they DO use Annie Sloan or Dixie Belle products out the kazoo, sometimes those just aren't the right product for the type of wood or overall design of the piece.
There is most definitely a place in home decor, even with the most contemporary of homes, for using a beautiful antique in it's natural brown color, In fact, an old friend made her elegant white stucco, flat roofed, many-windowed incredible home "work" by her decorator and she agreeing to put a piece in each room! I knew it would be correct-she has impeccable taste and incredible antiques. And so it worked and I feel it is important to keep the integrity of certain lovely pieces intact. Just because something is painted does not guarantee it will stay out of a landfill. Walnut needs to BE walnut. Thanks so much for doing this. TS
Some things should definitely be restored. But much like modern day designers, olden day designers sometimes got things wrong. Or the items were not taken care of properly and are destroyed. Or just aren’t practical anymore and end up in landfills. Being useful, for me, sometimes trumps being fully restored. So I consider each piece individually, rather than the idea that every single piece of mediocre furniture needs restoration. THESE pieces though- these are a no-brainer for me. That wood grain is out of this world!
This piece turned out GORGEOUS.
Excellent work.
I’d buy in a heartbeat ❤️
That table would be PERFECT in my library!
Lovely, every part is well-crafted. Love to see the care you give to each detail. Thank you for showing your work; the process and results.
Beautiful! I love old wood furniture more than the new modern cheap stuff. Loved it.
Thanks so much!
Watching the walnut "appear" during the sanding was amazing! I love the look of walnut and you treated that table like a baby...with loving care. What a beautiful piece! You do gorgeous work.
Amazing transformation. I loved that you kept the real wood and that you don’t stain but use the Odie’s Oil to show the richness of the wood tones. ❤🎉❤❤❤
Thanks so much for watching! That wood grain is out of this world!
Beautiful! Unfortunately, Duncan Phyfe style doesn't seem to be as popular now--but my mom would probably love it just because it's walnut.
ME TOO! hahaha
I love this table I would of definatley bought this if I lived nearer, 💕
Beautiful little Duncan Phyfe coffee table. Such fine work on this little piece. Great relaxing video.
Angie, it looks so great what you have done with the poor little table, you gave him a new Life. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany :-).
Wow ! It got all it deserved! Transformed from dead to living wood! Love Odies!
First time seeing one of your videos. Let me just say, I am in absolute LOVE with this table. You did an amazing job restoring it. Thank you for not painting it. Yes, some pieces are better painted. This was not one of those pieces. It's gorgeous!!
I am a newbie to this and working on my first piece. Needless to say after sanding all day, I was bawling the next, throwing in the towel etc. What I am getting at is, thank you so much for sharing what you are doing and why. You are a Godsend to me!
Oh Steph, we have ALL been there. Just remember to breathe and give yourself some grace. You're learning new skills with a thousand variables to affect things. Take it slow, you have got this!! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️
So happy I stumbled upon your video! This is beautiful!! And you explain your work easily and with passion. I can tell you love what you do. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to refinish some vintage furniture I just got. I’m nervous but with your videos I feel a lot more confident starting🤗
same! :)
Knowledge, ability and hard work are what accomplished this transformation! Not luck!!
Angie, I'm so glad you did this piece! I have a coffee table that I bought from a couple that was moving away from Vancouver, and it's the same style as this one. When I went to pick it up I was surprised and happy to realize that it's a Gibson piece, made in Napanee, Ontario, a few minutes from where I grew up! I've refinished a couple of dressers, but this table is going to be more of a challenge for me because the legs have broken since I got it, and at least one of the dowels is broken. If it's alright, I might message you on Instagram for some advice when I start working on it. I'm not planning on doing it for at least a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to it because I love the piece. It has either the exact same or similar feet on it, a little drawer, and small drop leaf ends. You did such a great job on your piece. The right person will definitely be happy to buy it, I'm sure!
So glad you refurbish the older pieces....i love them
Me too, and I think it's important to keep things out of the landfills. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! You've inspired me to find a little piece to practice my restoring skills! Thanks Angie and wish me luck!😉
I inherited a 1940 house and have been working on restoring old grimy wood trim. This was a lovely inspiration.
Spectacular table! Fantastic skills!! Fabulous results! I am in awe of your talents!!
How much to ship to California, USA?
For me, it makes it more interesting when I know what you are listing the piece for; thanks for including that.
Thanks for watching!
Such a pretty piece, super job bringing it back.
Like watching my dad in his workshop renewing and restoring furniture thanks so much.
You're most welcome!
That is TRULY an amazing piece with the wood truly beautiful!! If no one buys that quickly then people have zero taste!
I LOVE the feeling and sound of scraping old finish.
Did you see this video? ua-cam.com/video/xPByi250TyU/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful job! Love the natural walnut!
All it needed was some TLC to turn back into this very beautiful piece. Congrats, you're a superb craftswoman!
It’s absolutely gorgeous!
That little table is beautiful in a natural finish.
I loved this video, I bought a small side table that wobbles more then yours did, so it’s on my list for a do over between Christmas and new year. It’s a shame that these pieces don’t sell as quick as painted or more modern pieces do. Two years ago we sold our home and At lot of the feedback from the Real Estate agent was that people were very surprised how good modern pieces could look and sit happily alongside the antique pieces of purchased over the years.
My living room is like that. Modern couch, mixed wood drum table from the 80's, cherry secretary from the 1920's, brass lamps from the 1940's and 1970's, and an oak TV cabinet from the 1980's and a teak mid century china cabinet. I had a friend look at it and gasp that none of it matched. I told her it was a wealthy person's living room. All solid wood with great craftsmanship and inherited or bought for its quality.
I agree! I have a mix of family pieces and MCM/modern ones. They go well, giving the rooms a curated feel rather than “I bought the entire page from the catalogue “
I'm probably not the first one to mention it, but the style is Duncan Phyfe, very classic. Love loce the style and in my book Queen Anne mix well together and dometimes elements of both ste in one piece. I love the little coffee table. I've rnded up in a midcentury little house which drives me bananas trying to decorate because I love these old well-built pieces. And your piece is solid wood too.
