Using Color Theory to Flip a MCM Vintage Solid Maple Crawford Desk! #diy #furnitureflip

Join this channel to get access to perks: HOW I DID IT! Here is the link for the full list of items used for this flip - I found this vintage, solid maple MCM Crawford desk at an estate sale buyer for $60 (it was originally $120, so I got a steal!). Maple is always a difficult one for me, but I couldn’t say no to such a good price. Even with that ugly dark stain on the top🥴 first I cleaned it. I’m always asked why I clean before sanding… well, one, it’s sanitary. Two, it helps me see what I’m working with better. And three, my sanding pads don’t gum up as fast which leads to a decreased cost of supply and increased profit margin. I sanded with 120 grit using my @festool orbital applied oxalic acid from @realmilkpaintco … which typically works, but I think this was more of a burn stain not an iron stain I tried to iron, but that also didn’t work
