RESTORATION/ REPAIR - MAHOGANY VENEERED CARD TABLE( PART 2/ 2) 

what I like most is that you did not rip the damaged mahogany veneer from the table top and replaced it. Now you can see the repair but since it is done in such professional way it adds value to the table. I like old furniture more, if it is not overrestored and then virtually looks like new. I really believe you rescued this table. thanks from Germany for uploading this video.

Thank you. I was trying to decide how to do just this.

Beautiful outcome

You are a crazy voodoo wood magic wizard! I can't believe how amazing that table turned out!

So cool. You make it look sooo easy. Thanks for the video!

Looks awsome, beautiful work done!!

Incredible to see it after restoration. Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. Cheers

I loved the biscuit joined splines, great idea!!!

I know i am a little late to the party, but i have to say the Table Project turned out excellent. thanks for sharing.

I am fascinated with your videos and thank you for them. This one seems to be missing reassembling, stain matching, brass work, etc. wish you could re-edit to include those parts.

Great work. Thx

So helpful, thank you.

Amazing!

Wow!

hope you dont mind unsolicited advice. You can use a household iron on the old veneer and it will separate very easily as it melts the old scotch type glue. Also when cutting a new piece of veneer always overlap it with the old veneer to be joined and cut both at the same time and undercut the straight edge . this way both mating edges will match perfectly with no gaps.

Excellent job mate you just earned another subscriber.

Very nice!

Capolavoro 👍👍😊 Bravissimo 👏 Ciao 🇮🇹

I have this same table i started disassembling and cleaning over 10 years ago. If i remember correctly it just need the old shellac cleaned off. I need to dig it out of the corner of the basement and finish it.

Wow!!!!!

I have a pie crust table with claw legs I'm working on restoring. How would you recommend stripping the base? There's so many little crevasses!

Outstanding job, but obvious in looks. I almost believe all the top should have been redone

Very interesting. You got my attention. I'm going to try this on a lesser quality furniture item; might be worth a shot instead of tossing it in the rubbish bin. What kind of glue do you use? Any particular RU-vid videos, for post-veneer repair staining and finishing [for best wood grain/color match], you might recommend? Also, can you recommend an online source from which to buy mahogany veneer stock?

I find your vids enjoyable & informative- keep Rockin'!

Why the blue tape over the glue line for the top veneer?

loved the video i have several old pieces that need to be fixed like this i hate to see these old pieces damaged and worse than that i hate to see someone use bondo on them and then paint them it is a woodworking sin my question is where to find the veneer repair pieces thank you

I think you might want a glue company to sponsor you LOL

I was waiting to see how you actually done the whole top. what all was done.

Where’s the finished product. You said you were coming back but you didn’t. We would like to see the final look!

The grain matches perfectly

An amazing job. Great video tutorial. The cost however of labor far exceeds the value of a very mediocre table. Unless the table has enormous sentimental value, the owner will never recoup the large amount of cost to repair if they ever tried to resell it.

That should have been a three part video. Didn’t get to see how you finished the rest 😩

Where is Part 1?

Would have been better to re veneer the top or cut a complete straight strip rather than a diagonal join

you suppose to show us the finishing process after gluing the mohagny piece thats the most important

Since its effectively impossible hide the patch, I would have made that a full 45 degree, instead of having that odd corner, and then do the exact same cut on the other side. That way the patch would have actually looked intentional, like a design feature, instead of looking like a patch.

Too lengthy video for such a small job
