On the workbench

Pieces we've brought home and are still working on. They aren't for sale yet, but you can ask to hear the day one is finished, before it goes in the shop.

What happens on the bench

Repairs first, then the finish

  1. The dusty back corner of an antique mall
    I.

    Found

    Estate sales, antique malls, dusty back rooms. The good ones hide: solid wood, honest joinery, a story worth keeping.

  2. Oil finish being rubbed into oak
    II.

    Restored

    Repairs first, then the finish. Stripped, sanded, stained or painted, waxed. Hardware polished, or replaced with period-correct pieces.

  3. A restored dresser in a lived-in bedroom
    III.

    Rehomed

    Photographed, listed, and sent to its next home, ready for another few decades of breakfasts, letters and bedtime stories.
