James Ruddlesdin Furniture design & restoration

I hung some picture lights, some scaffold shelves and made a scaffold bench, that will have baskets underneath and a purpose made cushion on top.
The scaffold boards are all reclaimed and had a coat of clear oil on them.

A couple of pine floors sanded and varnished in a clear satin.
I say 2 rooms as opposed to one as I had to work around a rather large sofa and chair.
It was easier to do one half first with floorboards as you get a clean dividing line.

Just finished the complete upstairs of a 17th century cottage, quite a few boards needed replacing and pipe holes filled with knots.
All sanded back and finished with a clear Osmo oil.

4 glazed softwood doors had suffered quite a lot of deterioration underneath the glass panels.
Rather than replacing all 4 doors at great expense, my returning customer got in touch after seeing some previous door repairs of mine.
It was just a case of removing the rot and replacing with an oak bottom on all doors, all ready for the customer to paint themselves.

An original mahogany parquet floor had been hiding under a carpet for far too long, however the carpet had protected it and it was in superb condition.
Sanded back and finished with a clear satin varnish.

What started off as replacing a few rotten timbers on a 50 year old carport, kind of developed into a 90% rebuild and paint.
Once we discovered some dry rot and how much it had spread, most of it had to go, the original clear roofing had become so brittle, it was breaking like a dry cracker.
The customer decided to bite the bullet and go the whole hog, new timbers where needed, new roofing and new guttering.
Ready for another 50 years.
