Antique Restorations

Child's Rocking Chair, Circa: 1900

This was a chair which I was asked to try and put back together.  It wasn't a chair, but a pile of cracked and broken pieces.  There were no arm pieces, and three out of the four dowel tenons for the legs had been broken off.

Mahogany Dresser 

The client had bought a beautiful mahogany dresser and found out
that one of the drawer cases had been eaten by termites. I was
asked to make a new drawer case, and re-attach it to the drawer front.

After completing this it was decided to remake the two remaining drawer cases so they all matched, and to eliminate a strong chemical odor left over from the termite eradication.
