My favorite parts are when you strip off the old finish and show the beautiful wood underneath🥰 Another gorgeous job!

Doing what the customer wants is exactly why you have customers, I like that you can do what they want, a skill from experience. Love your work.

4/2/23; ..hey Trenta fabulous work on that veneer Cedar chest...don't know how you have the patients to deal with both super delicate thin veneer & also strip/neutralize, sand & refinish regular/thicker dimension surfaces. Beautiful craftsmanship! Your finished pieces look factory-new & perfect! Then their is your professional filming; lighting, staging (1/2 surface before, during & after stripping), closeups & your choice of 🎶 light & soft piano background. Total production excellence! A+👏👍✅️🍷🤗

I LOVE it.

Years ago, a friend's parents were moving and had a trunk just about like this one shown here that was being tossed. I readily accepted it and knew I could restore it to like-new condition. It looked to have inlaid veneers creating interesting patterns of wood and a cedar lined inside. I applied stripper and knew almost instantly I had made a really big mistake. The intricate patterned inlay work dissolved to reveal the base coat primer for doing faux-wood grain effects. I was saddened to say the least, but it turned out to be an attractive cedar wood trunk, just without all the patterning that got me interested in the first place. Wish mine had turned out like this one of yours. Nice job.

When you have the reveal of all the work... the cedar trunk beamed with pride as if to say "Look at me... I'm glorious" another amazing restoration. I wish you were local to me as I have my father's work desk that has seen better days that I'd like to have restored, and while I'd attempt to do it myself, it wouldn't be like one of your restorations. You have all the right tools, equipment, chemicals, knowledge, etc. to do a credible job of it... and I couldn't imagine trusting it to anyone else. But I'm in the SF Bay Area and fat chance you're ever in my neck of the woods. Anyway, enough daydreaming... Fantastic job Trena as Always!!!
