Furniture Repair

Repairing furniture correctly is an art. 
Correctly executed, a nice piece can be restored.
Done incorrectly, it is often irreversible.  I do a lot of it, and enjoy the challenge that each piece brings.

Table Repair Project 
​ This was an old table built by my friend's father when she was a girl.  
​She brought it from England.  A child sat on it accidentally and pretty much crushed the base, but it had obviously happened before.

This is sometimes the condition of furniture brought to my shop for repair.

This particular project was one of the dining chairs I've repaired from Timberline Lodge, Oregon. It looks like it was in a John Wayne movie saloon fight!
Much of the wood was missing in this chair, but now the chair has been totally restored and is happily back is service.
