Hey everyone!! Just wanted to say thank you all SOO much for watching!  I really appreciate all of the support and kind words, it really means the world to me.  
I know I haven't gotten back to everyone in the comments yet as I have been extremely busy these past few weeks, but I promise I will get back to everyone soon!
Hope everyone is doing well and wishing you a very happy holiday.  - Rich

Well that was worth the wait! Very nice separation between the wood hues / colors.  You have restored the DIGNITY of this piece.

The craftsmen that built that beautiful piece would be very happy with your restoration. Wonderful work❤❤❤❤

Beautiful! You don’t ever have to apologize for a long video. The longer the better, as far as I’m concerned.

My husband and I just finished watching,  that desk and chair are stunning.  You did an outstanding job.❤❤

You’ve put a LOT of work into this project, and it really shows. I like the two tone look because it really shows off the details.

I agree with your philosophy. Finishing is more important than trying to be perfect. I love that you work with your Dad!.

Whenever I see restoration work like mine, I always think that there's much more to it than just the restoration itself; there's care and dedication from those who undertake it. Therefore, I congratulate you on your work and hope you continue in this way, because what you do is a work of art.

Beautiful repair work!  This is a lovely desk and is good for another 150 years.

Trust your instincts and trust the process!  The completed result is just incredible!

Wow! That is gorgeous Looks like it belongs in a mansion.

I love the pedestal legs to the desk. It has those little designs that can drive a desire to repair & restore it.

The two tone look is so beautiful!!! Love watching your work!!!

God, that IS a beautiful desk. The chamfed corners are amazing.

Very extensive repairs to bring it back to life. This restore is stunning.

WOW you brought this desk back to life 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I am huge fan of trying the hard things and learning news skills, so I love that you are getting out of your comfort zone with different repairs and techniques!  Also, it’s never really a true refinishing project unless we find a million little pins 😂 Amazing job!!!

Stripping that detail off is where that laser remover is amazing. This is an awesome piece

I’m in love with this piece now!  I love your choices of stain and toner, but the work you did to restore and repair was done with such care and turned out wonderfully!  Love it!

I thought she was pretty before,after I think she’s gorgeous! Love the end result 😊

Rich,
I voted for you.
You do Excellent work and
with a beautiful, humble spirit.
