We all know they fit differently, even if they look the same, they have one home. Is this a game? 😅 and if it is what shall we call it?

Hello,

Got this lovely credenza for free off of marketplace and it was in very rough shape. Stained really dark, nicotine damage etc. I removed the stain and cleaned it up and did my first veneer patch but after applying danish oil it’s pretty clear I botched my veneer choice. I used walnut (that’s what I thought it was) but it’s looking like rosewood?

Anyhow, any ideas how I can best correct this? I thought I did pretty well for my first time but argh! The spots about an inch or so long x 1/2” w.

Thanks for looking.

Hi :) I found these chairs on the curb and thought that they would be a good first restoration project.
According to the label under the chairs they are from 1982, produced in the former German Democratic Republic.

Right now I think I‘ll just try taking them apart, sanding them and applying a stain or idk tung/danish oil be enough? Sadly the label doesn’t say what wood the chairs are made of. I‘ll also try to reupholster them since the original fabric is stained/has some holes.

If someone has any advice or suggestions that would be really appreciated! <3

Can I stain this as is or do I have to remove the original stain first? I’ve never done any furniture remodeling before but would like to get this looking better without having to purchase a new dining room table. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Can I fix this with just wood glue or do I need to replace the whole stretcher?

I’m a total novice at refinishing furniture, every project i’ve attempted has gone… poorly. That being said, I rescued this stool from my mom’s garage and would love to make it look new again to use as a side table or plant stand. Can’t figure out how to begin. Advice?

i bought this bookshelf with some imperfections - I’ve taken some cross sectional pictures of the shelves and the sides of the structure. im completely new to restoration so any advice at all is appreciated! i was just going to sand it but I really like its current color

These are the insides of the drawers on a solid wood sideboard and I’m not sure if these spots are mold. They’re not fuzzy, they don’t smell (the piece just smells like old wood furniture), and the wood isn’t rotted.

If it is mold, any ideas on how I can go about cleaning it off?

I got these end tables off of FB Marketplace thinking the wood finish was still in tact. Well, it’s been raining for about a day and the wood looks like this… what should I do to repair it/what wood sealant should I use to protect it from rain?

I don’t know anything about wood working, so I need some solid guidance.

Made in India.

I’ve been looking for a desk to fit my 1920s Spanish style apartment and decor. Finally ran into this piece from Angelus Furniture Company circa 1920s locally on marketplace. It’s been attacked by what is perhaps the worst shabby chic “restoration” ever.

There are others online, obviously significantly more expensive but thanks to other listings, I’ve determined it’s oak with mahogany veneer on the doors. The details are a mix of wrought iron, brass and what I assume to be a compo ornaments.

Total newbie here. Wondering what product is best for stripping the paint off the various materials especially the compo. Final pic is an example of the same desk for sale on cherish.

Looking forward to saving her.

hi all! i have no experience in furniture restoration so i thought i would come ask here - i’ve found my dream coffee table on fb marketplace (g plan teak astro coffee table, example listing attached), but the seller has informed me that she’s noticed a crack in the teak that appears to go the whole way through the wood, although she states that it doesn’t affect the structure (2nd photo).

my questions are - would this just be a matter of adding a little wood glue and a clamp, or would fixing it be more involved/require more expertise? secondly, i was going to buy the table for £300 - what reduced price do you think would be fair to offer if i were to buy it anyway?

thanks so much!

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some guidance on how to properly fix some small scratches on my pine table. What’s the best approach or product recommendation for a beginner to tackle this? Should I look into touch-up markers, wax filler stick or something like restore-a-finish?
Thank you for your time and help!

How much would it run to get these professionally stained?
