like new table...

Wow.. That’s a really nice desk. Looks like you replaced all the veneer on the drawers. Top looks solid, just have to refinish the rest?

Fantastic restoration!

amazing transformation.
The original would have probably fallen into my “oh too bad it is too damaged category”...
Nice job

This is a very nice refinishing job. I would not have even attempted this. The finished piece is beautiful

Great restoration Valdas.

Great Job! As someone who love to bring life back to battered pieces, I applaud your work. The finish looks beautiful. The top really came out well, the drawers are outstanding. The only thing I would have done differently would have gone back pulls that matched what was on there before, but I think the ones you used work just as well. Very fine work.

Valdas, your work reminds me of my teen years, working for my father. He did a lot of restoration work. That’s were I learned what kind of furniture and joinery techniques were good and which were not so good. I also learned that standing in front of a lathe making chair parts, was not what I wanted to do for a living. Nor scraping paint and varnish off of old furniture. That’s why I moved on to making new furniture. I still re-cane a chair every now and then, and do any repairs. You do some really nice work on those old pieces.
Thanks for the post.
