Our Projects - Start to Finish
Occasionally we like to document our efforts and show you, step by step, what goes into the restoration process. Below is a sampling of projects that we've photographed throughout the restoration and explained what's done as each piece is brought back to life.
This is a late 19th century quarter sawn oak rocker with carved griffins.

Here's another project that might interest some, a 1942 Firestone Air Chief radio "The Cavalcade" model.

This is the most thorough photo documentation of a project I have undertaken to date. Although this project does not entail any greater degree of effort than most I wanted to use it as an opportunity to demonstrate the degree of effort required. Most of my clients simply do not understand the level of effort and long littany of steps involved in a proper restoration effort.
So keeping that in mind I have documented every single process undertaken to bring this piece back to life. This project was done using a conservation approach in order to maintain as much of the original finish of the piece as possible. I hope you enjoy it, that your patience and interests has you review the entire photo set, and that it helps the viewer to understand what it takes to do what we do.

I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for helping restore the toy box for my mother ... She loved the outcome and was very pleased.
