A large portion of our work consists of antique restoration and repairs. From early period pieces to simple country pieces, we work on just about anything. Many times the sentimental value is the true determination of value. We also are able to save items that seem impossible to repair. Jim uses the finest epoxy glues along with practical joinery which most of the time makes the repairs invisible. We always prefer to do as little as possible to the finish on antique furniture. That being said, there are times when removing the old finish is the best way to go. We strip all of these pieces by hand, without the use of a dip tank. Not only can we control the process better this way, the left over "gook" is limited. After the old finish is removed, the piece is hand sanded and the new finish is applied. So, don't throw away that ugly piece of furniture, bring it to us for a new look!
