    Well... I have mixed feelings on how this one turned out. It was truly my hope to get this very close to how it would have looked originally, but the damage was just too much. Can't win 'em all!
    Short of replacing the veneer on the top, my only real option was to make the best of a lousy situation and try to make this piece usable again, even if I DID need to make it a bit darker than it would have been.
    I'm not sure what happened to this piece in its past life, but hopefully in its NEW life, it will be taken care of and loved, and avoid the landfill. That's really what my main goal ended up being.

    I still think you should have some little plates made that can be attached to each piece that read:"Restored by Angie at Transcend Furniture Gallery". Maybe also leave a space for you to add the date it was redone? Decades in the future pieces redone by you will demand premium prices and be highly valued because of the quality of your work.

      Agree completely. Artists sign their work and Angie is a consummate artist of the highest order. I have never seen restoration work of this caliber on any other channel. I mean, she finishes the inside corners and bottoms that no one ever sees. It's a miracle what she can pull off.

    • @andreakirkby
      @andreakirkby Рік тому +12

      It's also an interesting aspect of provenance. For instance I have seen repairers' names pencilled in French clock cases - this kind of history builds up and makes the objects richer and more interesting.

    • @lorelleblackwell8556
      @lorelleblackwell8556 Рік тому +7

      @@andreakirkby I hadn't even thought of that about clocks and watches! My aunt's husband was a WWII vet that lost part of one leg mid-thigh. He was a deep sea diver, retrieving bodies and parts from underwater crashes. No longer being able to do the physical work, and prosthetics being what they were in the 1940s, he needed a new profession and went to school to build and repair clocks and watches. Every piece he worked on was signed and dated in very tiny lettering and numbers. Decades later when I inherited a very expensive watch from a different aunt I took it in to be cleaned and the young man was stunned to use the jewelers loop and see the numerous notations made inside the watch back cover when my aunt had taken it to be worked on in some manner over the decades. I still have the watch and it's almost 100 years old. Angie is a skilled artisan and should be signing her work as the old craftsmen did.

You should put a tag that it was restored by you. Part of the history of the table. It is a masterpiece. You also are a great teacher/storyteller. I am sure that as time goes on, someone will look you up, when they inherit the table, and say WOW. This is a TRANSCEND table.

    Hi Angie! I am relatively new to this channel and, even though I know nothing about woodworking, something about watching you pour so much time and passion into these pieces of furniture is really hypnotizing. But what I really wanted to say here is just how much I appreciate your kindness in every single video, you have a very gentle and honest way of expressing yourself and are clearly a very compassionate person. As you said it yourself, there is a lot of negativity on the internet lately and it really is refreshing to come across such a calming creator. So thank you!

    If anyone is going to buy an old dining table they must understand that it is old and used. But that adds to the character of the peice and it tells a story. If these tables could tell their story it would be of fun laughter and the essential dimension of the family meeting together and keeping in touch. But as usual this is a great job. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    "As close to the factory finish as possible"??? Most of the time your finish ends up looking better than the factory finish. You always manage to bring out the woodgrain better than the original finish did. I'm totally amazed with this table and even with the remaining dings and stains, it almost looks better than original again.

    The table is absolutely beautiful. Being in my 70's, I have come to realize that perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be. Wearing our dings and stains with a certain humility, self-compassion and pride is far more satisfying. Bringing an abused piece of furniture back from the brink of the bin and thoughtfully restoring it's inherent beauty, including it's flaws, allows it to tell a story. Thank you for your mission!

    Angie, I used to apply a sealer of some kind where I worked at a custom cabinet and door company. My boss would say, "most people won't finish/seal the backs or inside or bottoms of a piece but it's really better for the wood as far as absorbing moisture less and drying less. More even. And besides, it's us."
    It turned out SO BEAUTIFUL 😍. I'D BE PROUD TO OWN IT. And, I use coasters btw. 😃 💜

It feels loved, when it was used so much that it was marked and battered; and then when its scars were softened but not completely mended by you. Your skills are so good, and you treat each project with so much respect that I know your furniture sighs in pleasure when you apply the finish. I love watching you revive furniture so its story will continue. You did beautiful work on this one.🌸

    • @TranscendFurnitureGallery
      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  Рік тому +72

      More than 3/4 of mid century furniture was constructed this way, to save money AND valuable resources (particularly exotic woods like mahogany and teak), and thank goodness they did it this way or there'd be none left. It may not appeal to you, but it makes the furniture extremely stable from a wood movement perspective, where solid wood is very prone to cracks and checks when it expands and contracts with temperature and humidity. It allows MORE furniture to be made from the same exotic wood, rather than one single temperamental piece of furniture, and it makes it more affordable for both the maker and the consumer. Have a look at retail prices of this furniture and the fact that they sell like hotcakes.. and then ask where the value is, haha. It's not just mid century though. A LOT of antiques with stunning woodgrain are also veneers. Veneer doesn't mean cheap. And the pressed wood of the mid century era is not the same as the 1980s and 1990s junk.
      It's a very important question you asked though, so thank you for bringing it up! Not many people actually realize just how much furniture is made this way... most of it has been passed down in families as "solid wood" and it's not. There's just a misunderstanding of how and why manufacturers did this.
      The 80s are different. lol That's when factory furniture when to Sh*t. lol

    We are our own worst critics. You did an absolutely wonderful job restoring this. Someone who wants to buy refurbished furniture won't mind a stain or two or an imperfection. They probably won't even see it and if they do, they want to have those flaws because it tells a story. But you see them because you worked so closely on it. Don't be so hard on yourself. Even if the finish was totally trashed and you had to paint the whole thing, it still would have turned out beautiful.

    • @TranscendFurnitureGallery

      THANK YOU! Yes, it is very true- a LOT of people don't realize that a massive portion of furniture they think is 'solid wood' isn't, and why that isn't always a bad thing. And also that it often has no bearing on the literal value of these pieces. I think the 1980s weaker pressed wood and melamine tops sort of tainted everyone's view of prior/older manufactured substrates, that are actually leaps and bounds better than that stuff...AND found in almost all quality mid century furniture.

    I have my mother's Drexel buffet it has 4 drawers in the center with top drawers and doors on each side. Her house got pretty damaged from Hurricane Michael. Roof ripped up and everything inside got soaked from Hurricane Michael. It looks pretty hazy but I love it anyway and have my TV on it in my living room. She got this buffet and matching table and chairs from a second hand store around 1960. It was in her dining room all my life. She passed away in July and her old broken down furniture is so precious to me. I actually have 3 dressers and this buffet. All my life long furniture and is in use in my home now. I watch you and it makes me want to redo her stuff so bad. Everything you redo is absolutely beautiful. Just lovely. But I just don't have the courage to even start. I feel like I'll mess her stuff up even more than it looks now.
