Outside the beltway
speaking of bleaching I had to bleach this dresser 2 times with the 2 part wood bleach. Jarrod put a couple patches in where the water damage was to bad to save, and I finished with 30 % Hickory and 70 % Golden Oak. Mag-na Max MLC lacquer.
Pick 5 is hand scraping
pick 6 is after bleach

Pick 4 is the finish product.

I love birdseye !

Another masterpiece by Dave and Jarrod!
I agree Dave, birdseye maple is beautiful, especially since its not commonplace and a small fortune, not much work being done with it. At least in my area of the country.
 
Sweet! Like Larry, I'd love to see how the patch was blended in color-wise. It sure looks invisible in the 4th photo. For the patch, it must have been challenging to find a new veneer that matched the birdseye grain. :thumb:
 
The 1st pic is the main damage. The spot is 5"x7" and it was soft down to the substright. Jarrod pulled the veneer off used wood hardener and then laid the veneer back on. The smaller spot was a cut out and new veneer was added. Light plays a big deal on new patches. So unless I aged the wood with I should have :dunno: you going to see the light hit the new wood through the finih and glaze. But it still came out nice. Unless your standing over top the piece it's barely noticeable.
