ALTHOUGH EVERY MORTISE AND TENON JOINT WAS LOOSE AND THE TOP HAD WARPED AND BUSTED AWAY FROM THE LEG BASE. WE WERE ABLE TO STABILIZE THE TABLE WITH SOME HIDDEN HARDWEAR, THEN THE WOOD WAS HAND SANDED, STAINED AND TOPCAOTED WITH A SATIN SHEEN. 10/10 Leslie Bowen Mark Ryan restored our wash stand to a […]
This is by far the oldest wood item we have restored. It is a family heirloom that our customer had inherited from her parents. She really wanted to display it again and have it rest in her home. Due to the fact we had never worked on such an item we were apprehensive and began […]
This piano leg was damage during an across country move. The owners were upset to say the least. We were able to quickly repair the leg in their home and using precision repair fill techniques the join line was almost invisible.

There were precision repairs using epoxy putty fill techniques to the corner edges and a large crack to the top. The metal corner and edge protectors needed the old finish removed; we then added an Antique […]
Our customer had inherited her childhood family table. She explained that it was brought to New Mexico on a Conestoga wagon. The table was certainly showing its age and had significant damage to the finish after being stored in a garage for many years. The wood had shrunk leaving a noticeable gap where the table leaf joined and […]
One of our customers wanted to get her spinning wheel restored. The front leg had broken off and two of the wheel spindles were also broken. We set about adding a dowel to the leg and had to actually lengthen the spindles so they could be glued back into the wheel. See the before […]
