Before & After Examples

Walnut Chest
This is a 65-year-old family heirloom. The chest was
water damaged and had many areas of broken and
missing veneer and numerous gouges through the wood
into the substrate. The client also requested a color
change to better showcase the beautiful grain of the
Walnut. The decorative carved elements were glazed to
accentuate them by creating additional contrast.

dresser, had the lower left decorative corner elements
broken off and some pieces missing. The broken piece
was fitted and glued into its proper place and the missing
parts replaced.

Mahogany Sideboard
This is a Baker sideboard that had suffered a deep
cross-grain scratch through the lacquer and into the
underlying veneer work. The top was stripped, the gouges
repaired, and the top finished to match the original color
and sheen.
