My first year (2023) of retirement has flown by. The 'Restorations' section is new as of December '23 and I've expanded my skillset to include cane replacement. I've also undertaken this year kitchen cabinet repairs and refinishing, and refinished pine flooring for which there is a picture in 'Other Refinishing Projects' section below (no pics of the cabinets however). Take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about work I've already completed. I hope you enjoy my site and take a moment to drop me a line.

This piece came to me with a dull and dirty finish and the right side armrest and 2 side rails broken off. Here's what it looked like after restoration.
This is how I originally received the piece. The left rear leg was also broken off (it was simply placed in so the lounge would stand for the photo).
In addition to the awrmrest haven broken off, a good size chunk of the wood was missing. Once the re-glued armrest was dry, wood filler was applied, shaped to the 'original' profile, and color matched to the wood color before refininshing.
This funky table was broken and in need of a fresh finish. I think it was a student's final woodworking project way back when. The stain job looked "rushed" like it was the end of the semester. The finish was old so I think it was circa 1960's.
Expanded my skillset by recaning 2 dining chairs - one seat and another chair back. They came out great and I'm able to take on additional projects.
This all-white painted Pottery Barn kitchen table was beautifully refreshed. The feet, base and pedestal were repainted to match the kitchen cabinets. The top was stripped of the original paint and stained with a Minwax semi-transparent color stain. Finally, it was finished with multiple coats of satin finish polyurethane.
Here is a closeup of the finished tabletop. Furniture designed to be painted often is manufactured with wood of different colors or species. This can be transformed into a unique look when softened with a pickling or colored semi-transparent stain. In this case, 'Warm White' was the stain color used.
The original Ethan Allen Coffee Table
This was refinished with a Silver Ash wood stain, then completed with a hand rubbed polyurethane finish.
The original oak dining table finish. The top had several sectional cracks as did each of the 2 leaves (not pictured here). The owner asked to repair the cracks and remove the original finish and color, and restore the wood to its original natural golden oak color.
Here is the finished dining table top and 2 leaves behind it. All cracks were repaired, old finish removed, and restored to its original golden oak beauty. Finished the project with 3 coats of semi gloss polyurethane.
