I can appreciate the amount of work it took to hide the cherry. I'm not a fan of the outcome, however. As others have said, it's too uneven/splotchy. There's no "right" or "wrong" way to handle this situation, but I probably would have primed the living daylights out of it to prevent bleedthrough and then painted it a solid color.

Yea it’s funny how different areas have trends. It’s sold already! It’s rustic and that’s big here in Dallas. If it was painted it wouldn’t have sold for me. I know it is so weird!! But I do wish I would have put one more coat of tan wash on it. Thanks so much for watching!

I have a cherry table and 6 chairs that I need to finish. This summer I stripped the table top with citrus stripper and then bleached it. It looks super light, almost white, but I’m afraid to put anything on it for fear it will bring back the red tannins. I don’t know why but I just kind of froze with deciding on what to do with it and now the winter is here(cold Michigan) and I don’t have a heated space to work on it 😞 I wanted a stained look, semi light to medium dark finish table top with black chairs(which I’ll,have to reupholster the seats)but I’m not sure what’s going to happen to the top once I apply stain. I’m not a fan of the tan final finish of this dresser but so one will love it. Any suggestion’s on what I should use on my table top 🤷‍♀️

@LemonstoLemonadeFurniture 4 ай бұрын
You can stain it with an oil based medium color stain and not have much to worry about. Once you get into the lighter ones you will always battle the tannins in my opinion. I just look for ways to tamper them down like shown and know that it will just have some “character” as for as a tinge of the reds. I just do all I can to prevent the big bleed spots bc those are not attractive. Hope that helps!

I still see a lot of red tone but the tip of using the green is a great one. I think though, I might need to really tone down the red in my piece. I have an Ethan Allen Secretary I am refinishing for my Sister. I am going to use Fusion Cathedral Taupe Wash. She wants the top to show off the wood grain. I shelaced and primed the bottom, but I think I'm going to have to sand back again, as the Fusion color is showing too much red and making it appear pink. Seeing your video has given me some hope that i an salvage this and still get what my Sister wants. This one for me is a real tough one.. You are such an inspiration for me.

Greetings and Happy New Year Kara and Chris from Georgian Bay, Ontario! I really am impressed with your tutorial style and how thorough and simple your instructions are. :-) For me, I would have kept all the handles the same on this piece and used a similar tan colour chalk paint rather than the tan wash. And you did a fabulous job on this piece. It turned out beautifully. *I would like to know how you clean your microfibre cloths?

A lot of work you had to do to remove all the finish which deserves an award but i agree with the majority of comments on the end results . You can use two part bleach to remove the red tones and it works really great. It may have been a lot of work to do the whole thing with it though so maybe a combo of that and paint would be nice. Another method to remove the red tone is green dye stain. General finishes makes one and it works pretty well. I used it on a mahogany top of a dresser and it made it a nice brown tone. You can add it right to shellac as well as any water or oil based product. Another note is you did the green paint wash on the poplar wood which already has a green tone so makes it more pronounced .

Idk...i can see the red and green cominh through. The handles remind me of an office cabinet. I think after all that work, Id have liked to see it painted instead wih nice handles. Good tip on reshaping the feet.

Awesome transformation! So high end opposed to the dated piece you started out with. Really curious what you sell it for.

I commend you; all that sanding and scraping would make me crazy! While I’m not a fan of washing anything, your dresser looks nice and I’m sure someone will love to have it. Great hack on the legs…definitely gonna try it.

I think I would have put the green wash first before putting the shellac. It came out awesome though

Me neither. I think if you paint it that pretty green would make it beautiful. I think the wood has to many variations in color.

Still lots of red showing. Thats a sign of good wood. I think it would look better just painted in a dark cream. With the new knobs looks very good!

Oh, that wash is really blotchy and still very red. I think doing the green wash wasn’t a good idea either, especially on the lighter wood on the edges. You should have done a bleach on the red wood if you wanted to get the red tones out. But I think it would have been better painted. I think this will be a tough sell as it looks so blotchy on the camera I can only imagine how blotchy it looks in person. I would definitely paint over it and then post it for sale.

It has sold, but thank you for watching Texas goes for the really rustic look so even though I would’ve liked to do one more coat of tan wash, I had a sneaky feeling of would sell. Thanks for being here.

I loved the tan wash but so many handles is taking away the beauty. If the old handles were given golden polish and attached would have been better than the present boring handles. Just my thoughts not being negative. I love your work.
