Over
the years we have been called upon to restore a wide variety of items, from potty chairs to crossbows, from painted decoration
to inlays of wood metal or ivory that are missing or coming off. From replacing leather writing surfaces to creating
missing brass hardware. As well as the occasional missing drawer or turning. In terms of age, from a 15th century telescope to Hoosier cabinets. Here is a small
selection of a few jobs from over the years. For
a few dollars more then a production refinishing shop, why not get it done once, and get it done right.

As with our cabinetmaking, all
estimates and advise is free of charge.
With many of the pieces we
get in, total refinishing is the last option we like to take, many finishes can be saved or revived, thus saving a lot
of an items value and originality. Our best work looks like an item which have always been taken care of, and have never seen
the inside of a restoration shop. Although we usually prefer to work with the same materials as each piece was originally constructed,
we will always work with whatever material our customer's specifies, or, inversely, recommend depending on use a different
material.
