Puppy damage! I'm always amazed how something so cute can be so destructive 😆. All the chewed sections were replaced with new components made to match, and coloured to suite.

A very enjoyable job this one. This table is solid french oak at 70mm thick, and needed reduced in length by 600mm - nothing out of the ordinary. But with the spare extension leaves, and the 600mm offcut, the client decided to get a coffee table made to match! A good example of how quality furniture can be repurposed if needs be.

Sometimes restoration involves some chemistry. If you know what caused the mark, you can reverse the staining with the appropriate chemicals. No sanding has been done so far, this is purely a chemical reaction, and you can see the mark progressively get lighter and lighter. I'll post the finished result.

A little birch ply window desk refurb. I wish I had taken a "before" picture as the white osmo finish had broken down and become all sticky and brown. This was stripped and replaced with Induro W/B PU lacquer (new favourite product), with some white stain mixed through it.

One of the more satisfying aspects of timber edge banding is trimming the excess. A little bit of candle wax on the back of an old plane iron and it just glides along nicely 👌

A nice little 1800's sewing table fully restored and ready for another century of service. This job had a little bit of everything; french polishing, metal work, upholstery, veneering, and delicate patch repairs. A thoroughly enjoyable job, with a delighted client afterwards.

First, and probably last, time using American White Oak 😳. I suspect it's been very badly dried, but this particular length deflected 80mm once resawn, along a 2.1mtr length. The worst part is that the whole pack (around 0.7 cubic mtrs) is all the same. Pretty disappointing.

This Compass plane will literally sit for years before it's needed again, but everytime it's needed, I'm so thankful I've got it. Its just one of those tools that is so so handy to have if you do a lot of repair/curved work.

Managed to get the Welsh dresser returned last week. Installing its upper shelved portion really completes it and brings it all together - it is very well proportioned and has just enough detail to "top everything off" without getting too busy.
