Stunning. I loved the blonde wood look but the dark just made the desk Extra👌🏼👍🏼

I haven't seen dark pine furniture that often. Usually it's done in light stains. Very attractive outcome.

Next time put a coat or two of shellac on the pine so you get a more even stain across the wood.

@ping170 6 месяцев назад

The legs oak actually looks very much like beech 😉 You'd never suspect the new desk has been flipped from this old ruin of a pinne desk, well done 👍

@adamfitch965 6 месяцев назад

And I think it was made with yellow pine, which is harder and more distinctly grained than the white pine of the new top. It’s still an amazing transformation and a great save.

Thank you! It was a challenging project for sure 😅

@mccommas2 3 дня назад

I hope after bringing it inside in parts and gluing it all back together that were able to get it through the door again! I tried gluing a wobbily coffee table I found on the side of the road and I failed. What's your secret? I would have put a poly on it to protect your great work. I would have also stained the entire drawer inside and out.

@stephanietaylor8003 6 месяцев назад

hi i just found you when u worked with flipping drawers .wow this desk looks amazing!!!! you def saved this treasure !!! i also bought a oak desk..originally 90.00 us. and then they went out of business.. so on the last wkend i got it for 30 .00 score!!!! like u, it neede d work . mine was also water damage..and i had to replace the panels , sand down the sides of the drawrs to make them fit, and replace 2 drawer bottoms... i sanded down the top , due to mold and chipped varnish . but i left the rest alone...i did give the whole desk a fresh but lite coat of golden oak stain and then poly over that.... as for the drawer frts it was too dark and u couldnt even see them.. so i sanded the frt but left the handles alone.. it worked perfect.. so i can relate with your project;];];]

Me: "NOOO! You can't replace the top with PINE, it will look awful!" You then proceed to stain the top with a deep, dark, rich stain. Also me: "Oh my God, that is GORGEOUS!!!!!"

@incognitotorpedo42 6 месяцев назад

You're lucky that it wasn't covered with a bunch of goopy paint. I consider it a plus if furniture is falling apart. It makes life easier on me.

A beautiful little desk. Love the handles. Love the colour.

@midcenturyflipper 6 месяцев назад

@briangoldberg4439 6 месяцев назад

if you want to put stain on soft wood, you can first put shellac coat so it goes on evenly. then use gel stain on top

@jebsails2837 6 месяцев назад

I think you captured the essence you wee looking for. Would it have been possible to square those rounded edges on the drawers and legs, possibly with a straight cutting router bit or on a table saw? Thanks. Narragansett Bay

@midcenturyflipper 6 месяцев назад

Acculy a router is on my list to Santa this year 😀 Thank you for watching!

@incognitotorpedo42 6 месяцев назад

Are you sure that's pine? It looks like fir. Some kind of conifer, anyway.

@garygerbino3171 6 месяцев назад

Looks great. Just wondering why you didn’t use teak for the top?

@midcenturyflipper 6 месяцев назад

I did not find any top in teak or walnut as i mentioned in the video. Went for Plan B 🙂 Thank you for watching!

@lfuentes4098 6 месяцев назад

Looks good. Only thing I would do differently is attaching the leg with a couple of dowels instead of a screw. If someone were to add those furniture gliders(for carpet) that screw on they wouldn’t be able to because of the screw in the center. Food for thought.

@karinapfel650 6 месяцев назад

It looks a bit jarring to see a dark stain on the distinctive pine grain but the desk turned out beautifully! Nice save.

@midcenturyflipper 6 месяцев назад

Yup, I know. But I wanted that walnut feel. But it came out pretty okey :-)

@user-sl3il5sz2s 6 месяцев назад

The drawer handles are crudely bright. The wood tone seems too dark, but that's a personal opinion. The right solution with the countertop. Overall a good result, I'll give you a like.
