A Fresh Lick Furniture

Called into to the workshop on way home to give the undercoat a light sand down, and apply some fine filling to some little areas.

Sand those down and we'll be ready for another undercoat

Latest progress on the stag dressing table restoration.
The stain block undercoat was applied last night which also helps identify areas that need filling.

Then will be ready to decide on a colour

Some more progress shots of the stag dressing table restoration, most of all the paint layers have now been removed.

A few more areas will need sanding, and then i can apply the first coat of undercoat to see what areas require filling.

More updates to follow

Another item we have decided to make a start on at the workshop.

This small writing bureau is in fairly good condition, the internal letter storage compartment has seen better days and will require rebuilding.

More updated images of the restoration to follow.

It's been a while, but we have decided to pull one of our stag dressing tables out of storage and restore it.

This particular piece is not in the best condition, loose legs, broken drawers and very badly painted.

We have made a start by removing the paint and fixing the loose legs. For this the legs and joints need to be disassembled and opened up to allow them to be re-glued.

The next stage is to finish removing the paint, so it can be undercoated.

This piece will be for sale once complete, we know it doesn't look much now but it will.

The finished Welsh dresser back home and back together, customers are very happy with the outcome and so are we.

Another old and tired looking piece of furniture given a new lease of life.

Considering we have just completed the base section of the Welsh dresser, we thought we'd share the before, during and after images of the top section.

Soon to be reunited with each other

Just finished up with the base section of a Welsh dresser we have been working on.

Old waxed pine furniture always needs a lot of preparation to get a good outcome.

This piece had 2x undercoats and quite a lot of filling required.

Now to deliver back to the customer and put both pieces back together.
