Recent work

A few notes on projects that have come through the workshop over the last couple of years. Photographs available on request.

Edwardian dining chairs, set of six

Re-caned seats, re-glued joints and a fresh coat of shellac to match the original finish.

Georgian bureau

Veneer repair on the fall-front and replacement of two damaged drawer runners.

Wing-back armchair

Full strip-down and traditional stuffed-over reupholstery in a client-supplied wool fabric.

Victorian chest of drawers

Rescued from a damp outbuilding; new drawer bases and a careful French-polish revival.

Oak farmhouse table

Levelled a warped top, re-glued the frame and refreshed the finish with hardwax oil.

Piano stool

Re-rushed the seat and repaired a cracked leg using traditional dowelling.
