Veneer felt like a potato chip... Vintage Buffet Makeover

A Jacobean style buffet left in the rain doesn't look the same! This sideboard/buffet was given to me by Corey at Mission Side Hustle. The unfortunate tropical storm trashed this beauty, but we will make it whole again in this video. Truly a trash to treasure refinish in this video. Originally manufactured by the Grand Rapids Chair Company, the solid build of this buffet helped to keep it in one piece during extreme conditions.

Original Poem:

The thing about life is
Things don't always pan out the way you expect
Sometimes you wrap a buffet in a tarp
And you hope it doesn't get wet.

But when a tropical storm blows through
It's hard for veneer to stay true
Even if the build was excellent
Glue can fail and wood can become spent

Nature will reclaim everything
That is what they say
But this buffet
Will not be taken to the dump today.
