you could benefit from some pre-conditioner. Then, the "bleaching effect" is most likely due to using a water based poly over an oil based stain. Thirdly, you could make the wood a bit richer by adding another coat of stain. I'm sure you were sick of it by then, but just a suggestion :D Nicely done. I like that you took such care with it.

Thank you so much for the tips!!

OMG! Lovely work and good job on a unique piece. You have been given so much bad advice here it is mind boggling, and most of it was from people who can’t spell. Pre-stain conditioner just causes the stain to sit atop the wood and is recommended for woods that tend to be splotchy when stained. It doesn’t “give the wood a drink.” Sanding sealer also would not have solved your stain problem, and there is no reason to believe it was caused by the vinegar still being in the wood. It is amazing how many people give the same uninformed “advice” that has already been posted. Finally, I’m sorry so many jerks piled on regarding the paint. It’s your furniture and you can do what pleases you. I had a problem similar to yours with stain and believe it was caused by oil-based stain that I didn’t let dry sufficiently before using a water based topcoat. I’ve used that combo many times in the past without a problem. Just ignore all these haters with their snide comments and inexpert advice. Do your own research from reputable sources and keep doing beautiful work. By the way, I’m a big fan of Transcend Furniture Gallery. Angie has lots of excellent information in her videos.

Another great piece, although I was expecting more gold accents on the decorative trim, lol. After your hard sanding work, you need to apply a shellac sealer before applying the stain. The shellac 'sets' the wood ready for staining as the next step, you got there in the end! Wish I could find such lovely deco pieces where we live in Aussie!

My only thought for the possible issue with the stain is that since it was an oil based stain, it wasn't left long enough to cure before adding a water based finish. If you are putting water finish on oil stain, it really needs to sit for a couple weeks for all that oil to do it's thing.

I think a sanding seal coat would have helped the stain not fade and blotch. If you sprayed on lacquer it might have blushed with the humidity. There is a product that you can spray on to take away the blush.

Oh really? What’s the product?

Great job! That piece definitely deserves to have a second chance! About "a stain problem" it could be because of 2 reasons. 1. The piece soaked a lot of water while you were washing it and it needed more time to dry. 2. An oil based stain needed more time to dry as well. I saw someone in the comments sad a couple of weeks but I know about at least 24 to 48 hours before applying water-based finish.

I talked to a couple of woodworkers and they all said that with old pieces especially if they have been stored in the sheds or outside something like that could happen. The moisture could be trapped deep in the woodfiber. And that even could happen with veneered chipboard.

The pre- stain everybody talked about is commonly called sanding sealer too. It gives an even coat to stain. Eliminating the blotchy look. As far as the washing out part, check to see of you used an oil base stain and s water based poly. Rule of thumb: oil goes over water, but water doesn't go over oil ( sometimes sanding first will but doesn't last for years ) We all remember oil and water don't mix. Finishes apply to this. Hope that helps. Also, stain my just sit on top of poly and come off later.

It's usually because the finish is completely gone or and always seems to happen to lighter woods but I've had it happened several times and been told by my dad and Uncle's who were loggers and woodworkers for 50 year but it does occasionally have to especially if the original finish is shot when you clean it with a vinegar and it soaks in on top of the high level of water it may have pushed it further into the grain I've had to spray pieces of furniture down the combination with the vinegar just sometimes is an issue. I've only been refusing furniture for about 15 years back to the wood finish but I did a lot of paint finishes for you before that but it's one of those things it's a chemical reaction with the vinegar the water the lack of finish In the type of wood it's funny how would react differently from species of species good luck with it

Haha right?? Facebook marketplace for $25!!!! Absolutely ridiculous. And I’m not sure but I think it had something to do with me applying a water based top coat on oil based stain too soon

Haha to each their own :) my personal decor style incorporates natural wood and pops of color. As for my artistic style, I specialize in art deco gold lines on top of wood tones. Make sure to check out my other videos for some more inspiration! Happy retirement!

Dear miss flip the reason why I said specifically 1932_1935 is because the design was very common in furniture with round edges and curved corners in the 1930s basically a more stream lined shape
