Timber is a natural product, and sometimes even a tried-and-tested finish can throw you a curveball. πͺ΅
βI recently built and fitted these bespoke, push-to-open oak veneer bathroom cabinets. Initially, they looked spot on. But after the oil fully cured, the finish reacted unpredictably with the veneer and settled patchily.
βI tried sanding back and refinishing but it wasn't right, & that is just not the standard I work to at LJC Carpentry & Joinery. When my name is on a job, it has to be perfect.
βSo, I pulled the doors and the scribed fillers, took them back to the bench, and completely remade, re-edged, and refinished them from scratch. It meant extra hours & materials but the result speaks for itself: a flawless, rich oak finish that is fully protected and ready for daily use.
βIf there is one thing I promise every client, itβs this: no matter what, I will always make it right. π€
