COMMON FURNITURE WOODS: Beginner's Guide for Furniture Flipping / Refinishing

Рет қаралды 107,431

The number one MOST asked question I get... is "how do you know what kind of wood that is". It's not always an easy answer, and 99% of it is research, practice, and experience. But there ARE some hints that certain wood species give away that can help.
This video won't make you an expert... there's no substitute for literal practice with it. But I'm hoping it will help people just starting out to recognize some common wood species used in furniture, as well as a little about the structure and composition and characteristics of wood as well.
Topics covered in this video:
0:01 Intro
0:50 Looking at what you have
2:25 Basic Wood Terminology

24:01 RED OAK & WHITE OAK
26:04 PINE
27:43 BIRCH
28:53 MAHOGANY
30:15 AFRICAN MAHOGANY
30:52 SOUTH AMERICAN MAHOGANY
31:32 SAPELE
32:16 Research & practice
33:37 End grain
33:52 Responsibility
34:59 Patina
36:50 Final remarks
This list is NOT exhaustive. There are hundreds of other woods used to make all sorts of different furniture. But these are the ones I run into the most, and depending where in the world you live, probably the ones YOU would run into the most.
If there's a wood you would like to learn more about, there is a website that is a free WEALTH of information that might be able to help: www.wood-database.com

Not a teacher?? Nonsense. You have a passion and a skill, and your instinct is to spread that knowledge and passion to others. And you do it in a way that is engaging and entertaining. That is the essence of being a teacher. I don't think there's been a video of yours that I've watched that I didn't learn something new from, so thank you for being MY teacher, at the very least.

You explained so well about woods in general. I've learned loads and it's only a few minutes in 😁 Thank you for the whole video, it was exactly what I hoped and has taught me a lot, and made me want to look at my furniture again from different angles and try and find out more from any labels or manufacturer marks. I was already convinced one of my tables is maple (which this video reinforced) but I'll see what I can find out about it. I have a pack of small pieces of various wood veneers somewhere from a marquetry kit, which I'm going to dig out and study. Thanks again, I really enjoyed this!

I wish some of those who flip furniture only for style trends felt the same, I would still be subscribed to their channels. Thank you for this video, I learned a lot! PS. red and white oak TREES can be identified by the shape of their leaves (one has rounded corners, the other has sharp corners) and when the leaves drop (fall or early spring). Unfortunately I can never remember which is which!

Just a hint about Red Oak trees...I have property covered with both Red and White Oaks. The Red Oak drops only part of it's leaves in the Fall. It drops the rest of them when new leaves come out in the Spring. The new leaves literally push the old leaves off. Guess what that means for me? I get to rake leaves twice a year! Yep, I'm raking leaves in April... I love wood, though, and love being surrounded by it. 😍

@@TranscendFurnitureGallery This has nothing to do with furniture but FYI - I'm a city girl developing a Permaculture Food Forest. I only have Pecan trees in my yard so I run around in my station wagon in November to collect bagged leaves from yards that have Oak and Maple. It makes the perfect compost for vegetable gardening - for some reason they offer the most nutrients needed :)

As a tailor, Quartersawn reminds me of garments that are cut on the bias. You cut it that way for its special attributes, garments cut on the bias are naturally more stretchy and the way they fit the body is unlike straight grain cut fabric. But it is expensive because it is more wasteful and is tricky to work with. I always enjoy finding connections in different media or crafts. Thanks for the wood identification lesson!

Found your channel almost a week ago and have been binging it all. I appreciate your unique style and interesting twists. (And the fact that you have some beautiful paint/stain pieces that aren't just dated-1980s-country effect. 😉) I loved this video and it helped me finally identify a couple of more unusual woods among my thrifted/vintage collection of furniture. I have done my best to care for them but that will be easier now that I know what they are. I am super excited to identify a pair of vintage hexagon endtables as Elm! I got them in 2019 and refinished them during initial 2020 quarantine. As I stripped off thick fake 1970s "speckled pecan" look goop, this amazing grain came out. Knew it wasn't oak, but couldn't figure out where to start and then life moved on. But now I know! I need more Elm in my life for sure!!! I haven't quite made it thru all your videos just yet (so if this is out there, my apologies) but a suggestion for a future video might be where to find info to identify pieces/styles. My hexagon tables are unlike any others I have ever seen, seem to be professionally made but can't find a makers mark/sticker. I'd love to find a resource that might help me identify more info on them as I struggle to describe them. Thanks for all your videos and keep up the amazing work!

I keep coming back to them because your voice is so soothing and you are so kind and supportive in your tutorials. You clearly have the patience of a saint. Unfortunately, I did my refinishing 'back in the day' before KZfaq or even the internet, so... yeah, it went badly and I never went back. (My 'creativity fix' thing now is quilting.) I just had to tell you how much I enjoy you and your work and your videos. I have learned so much and so enjoy seeing you save all of this furniture from the landfill! PS: I'm sure you know by now that trolls are just sad, angry people that just want others to be sad & angry, too. Pay them no mind! You GO, Girl!

I admire the fact that you truly respect each piece you work on, and allow it to “speak” to you and tell you what it wants to be. I also don’t automatically paint a piece, especially if it has been well preserved! I’ll paint it if it’s past it’s prime and combine paint with stain on a piece when I can. I have learned so much from you since I started restoring furniture a year or so ago. I am not a flipper-I take a lot of time with each piece and it’s a form of meditation for me. I love to bring a piece back to life again.

Just made out of 2x pine boards and stained that awful 1970's dark something awful finish. It was sitting in the basement and I always wanted to do something with it, but wasn't sure I could do it. Found your channel and a few others. And after watching a few...got started. Took the top board down to bare wood and did a final sanding with 320. Stained with American Walnut. Painted the balance of the piece. Oh my gosh...I love it. Love the look and it feels so smooth. It's now our current headboard and I cannot help but pet it each night. Love your videos. So helpful.

Wow! Thank you for sharing so much information! This was one of the most interesting educational videos that I’ve seen in a while. The grain variations are really cool and its something I always notice but never really looked that closely at. Now I’m going to be looking much more closely at grain patterns and pores. Loved the bunny flops too! 🐰

That was super interesting, and yes, I’ll definitely need to watch it several times to feel like I understand parts of it. Thanks Angie, for all the time you put into it.

Such a thorough and well done video. I stayed out as a wood worker, so I'm pretty good at recognizing wood species, but you've taught me some really valuable tips. Thank you!!
