The WORST veneer I've ever worked on... Furniture Restoration

The veneer on this dresser was damaged beyond repair. Watch me restore it back to life!
I wasn't sure how the veneer edge bands would be as an alternative to one large veneer. They normally aren't used to cover a wide area, and I couldn't find anyone online who attempted the same thing. My main concern was that the contact cement would seep up between the strips as I pressed them down, but this wasn't a big issue. It happened in a few spots, and it was easily fixed with some careful knifing. In the end, the piece turned out to my satisfaction, especially since the stain color was very close to what I had envisioned with the Flagstone stain. However, I probably won't ever use veneer edge bands to cover a large surface area again... Buying a sheet of veneer would have been WAY easier!
Oh and I forgot to mention in the video. I didn't stain the drawers like I did with the body because I noticed that the veneer on the drawers were "reddish", so using the same Flagstone stain wouldn't have resulted in the same color as the body. Since the handles were already black, I didn't want the drawers themselves to be distracting. Thus, I decided to just topcoat right after sanding the existing stain.
Anyways, thank you for watching! If you have any questions, comment them below and I'll get back to you :)

I really don't like waterfall furniture AT ALL. I've owned two sets that were passed down to us and the happiest day was when I watched them drive away in the back of someone else's truck! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I've seen a lot of people in the furniture painting groups I belong to/admin try to pretty them up with paint, stencils, transfers, etc, but to me it always looks like putting lipstick on a pig. There are very, very, very few that I've seen that actually look pretty good, but THIS one looks great! I think it's because you embraced what it IS, and didn't try to force it to be something it isn't. This style reads very masculine and you've managed to honor that - but also modernize it and actually enhance it's inherent style. This is one waterfall piece I'd actually like in my house!

Beautiful. Using the bands was inspirational. I doubted your choice of stain but, as always, it was perfect.

That opportunistic fade at 1:05 I love it. You saw it happening and used it very well!

Wonderful job on bringing life back to an old piece. I will, I’m afraid have to echo many of the comments, the stains I felt didn’t do the piece justice.

New subscriber and just watched this video. I actually Love the waterfall/Art Deco furniture!!! 1920’s was Bad but ppl still wanted nice looking furniture. Cheaper built, but Lovely. The veneer Stripes was a fantastic problem solver instead of a whole piece of veneer!!!! I Loved that!!!!! The new colors look so elegant modern!!! Thank you for sharing your talents🌻💙🌻
