Repair and Refinishing Services
Why spend money on mass-produced, artificially distressed furniture made from substandard materials, when you might already own a real piece of craftsmanship? Many antiques are repairable for a reasonable cost. I offer perfect restorations for more valuable items, or "budget-fixes", like tightening joinery or refinishing. If it's worth storing in the basement, it's worth putting to use again!
Pie Crust Table
A table who's finish was long neglected, having deep water rings and peeling varnish, was refurbished to a lustrious, warm and natural glow with the help of the all-mighty orange shellac. Shellac is an excellent water-vapor barrier, providing the perfect amber color match to this table's legs. Top-coated with poly-urethane, it will see many years of abuse.
Deacon's Bench
This quaint little bench has a storage space under the seat, which collapsed and needed structural attention. Portions of the bench were taken apart and re-assembled, adding some extra support where necessary. Once again, the bench can provide safe sitting and shoe-tying, while storing items below, for years to come!
