Thanks!

Lovely! With everyone painting furniture these days, I’m so happy to see someone saving these pieces & bringing them back to life! Nothing more beautiful on furniture than seeing the wood grain! ❤

I don’t think the original maker of this buffet ever dreamed this piece could look this beautiful. The most amazing part of restorations for me is how the beauty of the furniture is in the piece the whole time, it just takes the eye and hands of an artist to help the rest of us see it the way the artist does.😊

The maker of this piece albeit crudely done, made this with heart. You gave that piece its heartbeat back.

When you opened this piece up at first I was struck by how beautiful the wood grain was. Lovely to watch you reveal the piece in all its glory.

So happy you were able to save this piece. The carvings and wood grain, after your restoration, are stunning.

I’m so glad you spent the time to save this. It’s beautiful

Jay, if there is anyone in the world that can salvage a tossed aside piece of furniture it's you. 99% of society would have sent it to the burn pile. You turned it into a masterpiece. 😊 Hugo is a beautiful fur baby and a great break ❤. Again another extraordinary job.

There are no words to express how stunning this piece is. I don’t think I’ve ever been this blown away by a transformation and I’ve been watching videos like this on KZfaq for years😍

I know you said this piece isn’t made too well and there are no straight corners etc, but now, since your renovation, it looks like it’s worth a fortune. The wood grain is spectacular and the subtle colouring of the tree panel is a dynamic talking point. I’m so impressed with this piece Jay, you have captured all of its positive aspects and completely hidden the negative. Another job perfectly done xx

That wood grain is incredible! Lots of hard work, but so beautiful! I was surprised the door came out that well without a steam bath. The new arrangement of the workshop seems to be working really well.

Amazing - I love the fact the you didn’t paint it and allowed the wood to show case it’s own true beauty. Stunning

I'm absolutely blown away how fabulous this turned out. I love how you colored the tree too!

Only someone with your skills and patience could have saved this piece. It’s beautiful! 🌟 I’ll never understand how people who, instead of donating something, just throw it out in the weather. Excellent job of savings this!

This piece is beyond stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. I’m so glad you refinished it and kept the wood tones and what you did with the tree was brilliant.

This may be your finest piece yet, and that’s saying something! The attention to detail is phenomenal. Truly a heirloom to be treasured now!

I want to add that I have never seen a more perfect piece of furniture.Just beautiful!

So glad you finally learned Mia's name, and hope your neighbor appreciates your friendship with their cat. Love your videos and the respect you show the pieces you restore, letting the wood shine.

Highlighting the tree on the door really brings it all together. The tree was fading in the background. Great job!

Your patience and persistence has paid off! This is an absolutely stunning piece!

The wood grain in this piece is so beautiful. I am always blown away how you take loving care of the details. It always pays off.😊

First, I thought that the tree is too flashy, then I realized that your impeccable taste did not lose you. It goes perfectly with the item and with its style! Absolutely stunning piece. Thank you for saving it and sharing with us!

A beautiful transformation. You returned the patient to full health! 😍

I watch all your videos, repeatedly. It's very soothing to see you do such amazing things to mere wood! This one is my favorite of all the pieces you've done. Love all the cats, love a man who loves a cat. Thanks for sharing your unique sense of humor also. You remind me of my grandson who loves to do beautiful and perfect work.

Я не перестаю вами восхищаться ,вашей работой и вашим отношением к вещам ,которым вы возвращаете вторую жизнь

That wood grain and colouring is absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad you brought out the tree carving, it was getting a bit ‘lost’. I like how you use many products I haven’t seen before. Great job. ❤

You made several super creative and brilliant decisions with this worn-out buffet - the resin, clear coat spray, glazing the tree leaves in green... It's very unique and beautiful. I always enjoy your sense of humor and the cute kitties.

Wow. This is the most beautiful final result of all your videos so far, and all other furniture restoration videos I came across. I love how the subtle ness of the tree stain that you used. It pops enough but still allows the wood and not the paint to be the star of the show. You really helped to elevate this piece beyond what I thought was possible. 👌🏻✨

I love the final reveal. The music is so appropriate to the richness and beauty of the project.

The work you did is beyond fantastic! That tree really is unique and gorgeous! I'm pretty sure it was meant to be a representation of the tree of life, which is my absolute favorite symbol in history! That piece was meant to be admired, and will be, thanks to you, for years to come! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

There are no words. It is a masterpiece.

Wow. You turned that into an absolutely gorgeous piece.

This was a phenomenal restoration! You have more patience than I do! I love the colors of the tree!

How absolutely beautiful! You did a magnificent job and no one would ever know this was a distressed piece! I love your channel and look forward to your videos!!

Stunning! No other word for it. This old piece thanks you again and again for its magnificent new life.

What an amazing transformation! I can understand how difficult it is to make a beautiful piece out of something that was poorly crafted to start with, but you did it brilliantly.

The time in the work involved in the piece are stupendous but so worth it! Great job and I would be proud to display it in my house.

This is beautiful! I always wonder if the prior owners would even recognize the pieces after you are done. You do such an amazing job on them all. Thank you for letting us watch!

I love this little cabinet. I'm so happy you took her home. You brought her back to life. So beautiful. The wood is amazing. Thank you for rescuing her. Hugs, God Bless. Rebekah

You, sir, are a genius! Highlighting the beautiful wood grain was the perfect finishing choice. I’m sure that this piece was never as stunning as it is now. Your patience & perseverance paid off yet again.

You did an absolutely amazing job on this piece! I really love how it turned out! ❤

In all your videos, I have never seen you go "off the rails" with a technique or with having to "persuade" a piece of wood back into shape. Everything you did was what needed to be done. Don't ever think you have to make excuses for having to work with what you have! One of the reasons I watch is to see if you come up with something I need to use!!! Great work!!

I have never seen a work shop this cleaned and organized

Очень красиво. Вы поняли его суть. И он стал индивидуален. Теперь мебель в квартире надо менять под него😊

Wow, what a transformation. This is so beautiful and well worth the time and effort. Thanks for the great video and for bringing us along. Your hard work and patience really paid off.

I've been watching your channel for about a year now and this is the best piece to date! I wouldn't mind this in my house as it would go together with other rustic pieces we have gathered from around the world.

This is my second time seeing this transformation. What a masterful transformation, Jay. Your artistry is truly outstanding.

It’s so beautiful. I would have never guessed that any amount of work would make such a difference. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely stunning. The wood grain is also beautiful and you have managed to bring it out perfectly. I love it ❤

The wood is gorgeous! Awesome job. Love what you did with the tree!

I’m admired your work. Love old furniture. Have a lot of respect for you to go out to find old furniture where most people will throw them away in the landfill. Looking forward to your videos. They’re blessings to all of the viewers. God bless your heart and talents!!! 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏

This peice has beautiful wood. And i love the tree on the door.

OMG ... the dedication ... the patience ... and the perseverance ... it is always such a pleasure to watch how a piece of furniture that had been "abandoned" by previous owners is being "revived" by you! Thank you for sharing something you so obviously enjoy doing - and doing it so well! ❤

I see you're ambidextrous. You can drink and sand at the same time! Is there no end to your talents? 😊

Oh wow!!! The tree looks so good!!! The whole transformation of this buffet is so great!!! You do wonderful work!!!

Very beautiful piece, especially the beautiful grain and shine you gave it. Obviously you have the patience of a saint. Congratulations on this endeavor.

This is one of your best pieces of work so far Jay. I am a tree freak, so this one absolutely has my heart. I am amazed by your skill and dedication. Just wow. Thank you for saving her and sharing the process. Wow.

Wow! I would never have had the patience for how difficult that tree was but seeing it after it's absolutely amazing and the wood looks stunning! An amazing transformation 😊

I loved that you colored the tree and let the grain shine through. ❤

Simply WOW!! I can't believe that amazing wood grain. You did an incredible job. I'm sure the person who made this had no idea it could look this beautiful. You are truly a master craftsman. It's stunning.

Absolutely stunning. The finish on the tree was genius!

Wow! I love your videos because of the amazing transformations! Your goal for each project is always as good as the piece could possibly look and most of the time probably better than it looked originally! Thanks for another great video!😻

Очень качественная работа. А за любовь к котикам отдельный респект:)

It's a gorgeous piece of furniture. The artistry of the tree is beautiful!

It really shows how much you love what you do and how well you do it. Jaw dropping gorgeous piece!

Fabulous! Astonishing! Magnificent! I'll bet even YOU were amazed at how beautifully this turned out. Ready to become someone's treasured piece.

Wow, what beautiful wood grain and you saved it from the elements, it has so many years left in it now ❤

Most refinishers wouldn't attempt to save that piece. For those brave souls who would, they'd likely paint it, not go to the extreme you do, to get every bit of paint and stain removed, to allow the beauty of the wood to shine! I loved what you did to bring out the beauty of the tree, as well. I love how you do everything you can, to rescue a past treasure. Maybe it's the nurse in you. You see value in every life and try to give patients the best life they can have. You do the same for furniture that's been neglected.

Love how you made the wood grain pop!! Thanks for all your inspiring work. 😊

Absolutely gorgeous. You're a magician. This piece looked like it was ready for the trash pile. You brought it back to life and made it a piece anyone would love to have in their home ❤

What a beauty! It's remarquable what you've offered for a second life well deserved to this buffet.

With the warping and mold plus removing the white paint from the tree,I didn't think I would love the finished product, but I do. Your vision of how it could be made all the difference. I love the new hardware you selected. And the patina paste for highlighting the tree details were exactly what was needed. The beeswax application is that attention to detail I really admire. Thank you for giving that buffet a new life.

so glad you saved this piece from rotting outside.

Wow. From trash to treasure. Simply stunning.

Thank you for not giving up on this piece. It is absolutely gorgeous!!

So beautiful! Love the wood grain in this. Thanks for sharing!

You spend so much time on all the detail, and it pays off, absolutley a work of art., you are by far my favorite furniture restore.

Imagine that diamond was there, under the ruff wear and tear, all the time. It just needed someone with your love for woodwork and old furniture, not to mention your artistry and expertise. It turned out so gorgeous ❤

Wow! That piece with all its imperfections turned out so nice. I like the wood patterns and the tree really stands out.

I just love what you can do with these furniture pieces. I appreciate all that I can learn from you, and your sense of humor! Thank you so much.

While certainly not easy, I am glad you saved this piece. I love the carving of the tree.

Such beautiful wood grain and it looks fabulous, but I would have left the tree and not coloured it. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. Take care 🙂

I love what you did with the tree, well done.

What a beautiful piece. I’m glad you are bringing this beauty back to life. Just so you know, I love it in white or cream! Shows the tree beautifully.

I’m a retired healthcare worker and keep busy with my 4 grandkids but they’re old enough to drive now and since I’m high risk I’m passing time refinishing items and reupholstering chairs etc. Covid has started up in Texas again and I live on a ranch in a small town. My trips thrifting will have to be curbed some. My friend since we were 6 yrs old and I are widows and it gives us joy to drive to San Antonio to thrift. No thrift stores in our town. I have to spread the word that I’m looking for furniture to try to renew. My mother was born in 1911 and she and I were always refinishing, upholstering, making drapes and quilts. I miss those times with her. Thank you for your videos.👍😃

You work miracles on these items. This turned out beautiful.

Fantastic restoration of yet another piece that otherwise would be firewood Jay. The woodgrain looked beautiful once it had passed through your magic hands. I loved the colours you used on the tree too, it made such a pretty feature. The patience you had to pick out all those paint flecks. ❤ Also you always somehow manage to up your game each time. Your friendly neighbourhood kitties are so sweet too. From one ex nhs worker to another I'm glad you've found your happy place doing what you love. 😊 Kate x

Loved the woodgrain and what you did with tree carving on the door! You have the patience of Jobe 😊

So beautiful! If you ever feel like an “extended version” I’d be interested… love your intricate repairs and resourcefulness 🙂

That is just absolutely beautiful!! New would I have believed that it would look like this after seeing it before you began this journey of discovery. You are most certainly an artisan. 💗

Hi! I really love see the "veins" of the wood and you rescued the beautiness of it. Thanks a lot for it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Your voice is very comforting, your skills fall right in place . When I remember I look for you to see what you’re up too , I noticed your warrior how cute both of them!

This is an amazing restoration!! Sir, you are so gifted and talented; your work is stunning and I look forward to the next one.

The wood grain and colours are just perfection. What a stunning piece! I'm just in awe of your skills..fabulous!

I've said the final results of other pieces you've worked on were stunning, but the grain on the wood of this piece just blew me away. I think you were right about the carved tree. What a great idea. It's breathtakingly beautiful!

Wow! My gracious! What a stunning, totally fabulous difference! That is wonderful, but it took so-o-o-o much work. Love the way you 'encouraged' the buffet to untwist itself. You are very diligent Mr. D. Love the work on the tree. I endorse every positive comment on this and every other video - with thanks to you. And aren't you lucky to be 11,716 miles away else I might do a spot of cat-napping.

WOW 😮😮😮. He visto videos de personas restauradoras, pero nunca me han gustado. Ya que les falta detallar. Y usted me ha sorprendido gratamente. Si tuviera un mueble se lo llevaría sin pensarlo... Es un mueble precioso y con los detalles y acabados que usted le da, ha quedado precioso. Felicidades...

This came out gorgeous!!! I love seeing pieces like this restored.. Thank-you…

❤ Wow! What an amazing transformation . The Tree of Life is stunning. Great choices of color throughout the piece. Natural woodgrain is my favorite finish. 😊

This is my favorite video. You did such a wonderful job with this piece. The tree is outstanding. Thank you for sharing.😊
