Restoring a water-stained tabletop
Even if you forget to use a coaster, there's still hope.

Even if you have zero interest in furniture restoration, there is a lot to be learned from those in the restoration game. Not only are refinishers well versed in finishing techniques and products, but they also deal with construction issues that we “furniture makers” might never see.
I’ve been watching Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration’s videos for a couple of years now and I learn something every time I do. Tom’s patience when dealing with difficult problems is something we should all strive to replicate in our own shops. The way he deals with the water stains on this table is no exception—not to mention the way he dials in the color tones to match the existing finish.
Sit back, relax, and watch someone working on the periphery of what you do. I’m willing to bet you learn a lot!

His videos are a lot of fun. I'd love for you to have him on the podcast for an episode.
I have learned a lot from watching his videos. When I am building a new project and encounter an error, his restoration methods have shown me how to recover and save my project.
I have enjoyed his videos and am happy to see them here: I'd love to learn more about how his work fits in the field of fine furniture. Thank you.
A very informative, articulate and well-done video. I learned several things and enjoyed the ride along the way. It is always interesting to see how someone with a lot of experience in a field works to accomplish a task efficiently - the shortcuts and hacks that have become routine methods of work.
Nice to see how a pro does it. Careful not to go down to completely new wood so as to maintain the age and character of the piece
