Furniture restoration

“This was my first restoration and because there was so much damage, there wasn’t much to lose! I was nervous about taking it on but this buffet was the reason I overcame that fear.”

“Once I got started, I found it amazing how many people had some keepsake furniture in the attic or cellar that they wanted restored. I never lacked for work those twenty years. [...] I love the challenge of repairing. Not counting simple regluing, I had to figure out how to fix or reproduce someone else’s work or design. I couldn’t stay within the skill levels I had developed. I was forced to stretch and learn new techniques almost every day.”
