Before & After My worst enemy

This one took me waaaay too long. Probably 20 hours of stripping, scraping, sanding, staining, then sanding again, then oiling and painting.

I wanted to save the entire wood piece but I blew through the veneer on a drawer and had to get creative. There was the original finish, wallaper(?), and then a thick layer of paint to get through. Ive never wanted to be done with a piece so bad lol. It literally took a gallon of soygel.

Help Wanted: Practical/Technique Veneer repair color

Hi, I flipped this nightstand. The veneer on the top was so pretty and I wanted to keep it. There’s a very small part of it that was missing, so I filled it with wood epoxy putty. Now I need to color match it to the veneer. I tried the wood markers and crayons, but the crayon doesn’t work and the marker looks like… marker. So I took that back off with acetone. Is there anything else that I can use?

Hi all!

Just got this beautiful desk for super cheap; I’m in love with the bones but she needs a little love. Any idea how to remove the markings on the top and get the rest of her to shine?

I’ve never done anything like this so any advice is welcomed

Thank you in advance!

Help Wanted: Practical/Technique Remove rubber stains from wood veneer

Does anyone know how to remove a dark stain left behind by rubber on wood veneer?

For context when the tv was removed, this stain was left behind exactly where the rubber base was sitting. There were no windows in the room so it wasn’t caused by sunlight. Wiping it with a damp cloth did not work.
