Here is one of our current projects. This is a solid walnut
buffet made by the Standard Table Company of Jamestown, NY. It is one piece of a
complete set we are restoring. This set belonged to the owners mother and is
complete with all the chairs.
Here is before overview photo.
The legs had many bad repairs
with yellow glue and nails.
Two of the legs had been broken
off completely and re-glued very badly. The glue help but the pieces were
not properly aligned when repaired. We re-broke the repair and realigned
the joints for a invisible repair.
Here is the top of the leg
before repairs.
Some of the legs as we glued
them up.
Here we have the repaired and
stripped legs along with the main shell ready to be stripped.
With the shell stripped, we
attached the legs and squarely aligned them, making sure the heights were
all the same.
After sanding it's then off to
the finishing area for a fresh new finish consisting of several coats of
NU-Coat, a HYBRID Lacquer- Urethane finish.
