I repaired and gave this Old Teak Chest a handsome refinish for Sonny to use a toy box. The lid had a large crack from one end to the other and the hinges had ripped large pieces of the wood away. Please let me know what you think of this furniture flip in the comments.

Aww, poor litte Sonny.I'm glad he's feeling better. He's adorable. The chest is gorgeous. So much love put into it.

The brass inlay looks stunning. Turning damage that most people would see as irreparable and turning into a central feature is brilliant.

Hello from California. Chinese girls had their dowries in teak chests (brass latch). I have my mom's huge and heavy one. Unfortunately, someone gave up and left it for dead. Fortunately, you saved it and repurposed it. Great job, thank you. Health and peace to you and your family.

Thank you. I really appreciated your little pep talk at the beginning of this video on how to work with what you've got. I've been running myself nuts trying to get a lot of tools I probably don't really need. Your talk helped me put that into perspective. Watching you work solidified my appreciation. This was a great rescue.

I think Pam Sheets said it best n DIDO I feel the same. You did a fantastic job on this chest. Adding the brass to hide the crack was a perfect idea plus more character to the chest. Your sign for Sonny is very meaningful. He will carry this chest through his life n on to his children. As he gets older he will love n appreciate it even more. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟 PS. Prayers lifted up for Sonny 🙏

Sorry you’ve had a rough time- but I’m so glad to hear that Sonny is well enough to be home! I love the freedom to make the choices that appeal to me when I work on a piece for myself. I love the brass strip and would never have thought to do that. Nice! One thing you might consider, is drilling a small air hole into the side somewhere, even though the lid raises so easily. Just to be extra safe.

I love your vision for this piece and how it turned out! I wondered about the uneven sides. Maybe it was hand planed when it was made. It might have been neat to leave that original hand tool feature. Just a thought. You made some great improvements to the original work. Sonny will treasure his new box. Hope all goes well for you.
