Victorian Chaise Lounge Restoration

The condition on arrival was very rough. But the sentimental value to the client was such that the project went ahead.

The above pairs were the only pieces sound enough to be worth saving.

Rimu Scotch Chest Restoration

For at least 40 years, this chest had been in the tractor shed. It had housed a number of items during that time and had obviously been targeted by numerous families of birds nesting above it. This was a huge job with challenges generated by borer and a high amount of wear on the drawers and runners. There were components missing and some damaged beyond repair. This really did become a labour of love. I think you’ll agree it was a journey worth taking.
