Pop! The clamp i grabbed this morning was open exactly to where I needed it! Most of you are probably thinking, ok. But pop and I did a ghostly high five. The odds are probably the same as the lotto. Lol... it's the little things.

This was a large mahogany desk that had seen a lot of use. That top is gorgeous. She looks good now.

So we've all had drawer pulls come loose. What happens most of the time? You spin the pull and it tightens up against the screw holding it. But did you know that some drawer pulls have little teeth on the back? When you spin that k**b, you're essentially cutting a hole in the drawer. Best thing to do is get a screwdriver, push the pull flat against the drawer face and tighten the screw. Not the drawer pull.

This beautiful buffet went home yesterday. Thank you to Mrs. Revelle for her patience. Kicked Covid's butt and then the temperature turned brutal. My little heaters struggle in the deep cold and varnish doesn't like to spread well. Filled the veneer rips and the termite/ worm damage with Timbermate wood filler. Wish we had this stuff 40 years ago !!

If i haven't gotten back to you yet, it's because the vid found me. I had wondered if the chemicals and sanding dust would compromise my health. (Well, eventually probably) but the comeback is going to be greater than the setback. Anywho, thank you for your patience.

Been brutally cold. Vanish doesn't like to work when it's cold.

A Merry Christmas to all!

Two chairs go out, one buffet comes in. More mahogany. This buffet needs a little love. Some veneer, a little re-shaping of broken moulding, and some gluing, and a fresh dress, she'll be showroom worthy soon. Just an fyi, mid January we'll be receiving 10 chairs and a dining room table to refinish. Getting tight in here again....

I struggled with these. I really wanted to finish them natural. But i also had to repair cat scratches and blend previous cracks/ breaks. So red mahogany they got. Which, really just gives a deeper, darker red. Beautiful chairs with a touch of light veneer inlay. Im sure we can get her to post pictures of the seats when reupholstered. Probably one more coat and they're going home Friday.
