Love how you tried something new! We are very much used to your dark stained projects, but this shows how your work can extend past mid century and traditional furniture. This past year I made a big leap of faith and installed white stained oak floors in part of our home. I get it now, the white wood looks beautiful!

After reading the comments about the finish, I was anxious but it’s actually terrific. A light marbling that hints at grain and is a perfect update and congruent with the shape of the legs. A delightful restoration and a new life for what might have been a boring maple piece. Wonderful work. Thanks!

The light blotchy areas were from GREASE / Oily food stains. Next time you have this issue, WASH the wood with Acetone. Three soaking washes and wipe ups usually pulls out most of the oil.

I gotta say, never in my life have seen a cat walking backwards so perfectly and elegantly.
-
hey dude, I've watched your channel for 4 years now & I gotta say that the attention to detail & the care you put into bringing these peices back to life is genuinely beautiful. these videos are a joy in my life
-
Around here tables like that can't be given away. Good job no the less.
-
An admirer from afar (Australia), and I have learnt a lot from watching your videos though I could never do what you do. I signed up for the woodworker's guild, to continue being inspired. Many thanks Mr D. Design

I worked for Ethan Allen in the early seventies, the factory was ancient, all the machinery was powered by a huge flat belt drive system that ran down from the ceiling where there was a long drive axle that ran the whole length of the building. It was slave labor at less than$100. a week and terrible working conditions.
-
I love the color. Better then the vintage orange look.
-
Your table; your choice, but the white stain almost looks like white paint.
-
Thank you for the code from Australia!! I think I have watched all your videos since the beginning. When there was just a voice and the handsome devil would not show its face :-) . These trades are preserved by your videos and in a world of if its broken replace it and throw it out ....your work adds life and one day soon all this mid centruy furniture will be a true antique. Thank you from me ......James

I love light colors for wood - my house was built in the 50s when everything was “blonde”, but I don’t like how it yellows with age. My new kitchen is stained Fruitwood, which goes with the aged blonde woodwork in the house. The table is a beauty, especially when you think of the “before”!
-
You have so many clever tricks to glue things. I learned a lot 😃
-
Really nice transitions into the sponsor bits. That's twice now we've been into it before realizing we were being sponsored at. Very well done. I don't even mind sitting through them when you do that.
-
Dashner does it again.

Congrats on the new sponsorship. Great job on the table as well! A tip for the water-based poly, use 2% ratio of propolene glycol in the varnish, it helps it even out the finish and reduce bubbles.
-
I don't typically like Ethan Allen furniture and I don't usually like a white-washed finish -- but, this turned out really nice! I actually like it better than the original maple finish!
-
I love lighter colored woods, but that white stain was a bit too much, it almost looks like it was painted white, like someone else said. But I guess it's what you had to do to save this piece.
-
You've outdone yourself again. I like your professional attitude. A quick makeover wouldn't have done it. You went all the way and took care of every detail. Great job as always.
