We just got done repairing and refinish an antique hall tree that was dated 1907. It came to us very dark, almost black with some veneer missing and a carved foot missing. Warren carved a new foot and put new veneer where it was missing.

Did you inherit someone else’s taste in decorating when you moved into your new house?

This room was painted a dark purple. The homeowner painted over it this nice blue color. We were to cover the wall paper with wainscoting painted white.

This handrail was sanded down by the homeowner, but could not be completed. We were called to finish sanding it and stain and finish it to match the floors.

A set of mohogany doors came to us quite weathered.

We stripped the old finish and stain off and then sanded it down to raw wood. We then stained it a deep red mohogany stain.

After that, we applied one coat of spar varnish on them.

We are now working on getting two more coats of finish on them.

A couple asked us to refinish a couple of dressers that the lady had inherited from her grandma.  The dresser was made with solid wood with mahogany, and birds eye maple veneer.

It had a to have a few pieces of veneer replaced and had lot of water marks on the tops.

We stripped the old finish off and sanded it, then we applied new finish on them.

The maple was stained a bit but when we stripped the old finish we left it with the natural color.  The couple is going to use these dressers for their newborn.

A couple asked us to build a quad bunk bed for their 4 daughters. The mother came up with a few quad bunks that she saw on the internet. We used them as a guide and designed our own set.

The mother wanted a solid panel instead of a rail guard, the father asked to have shelves to hang off the sides of the guards. 

Needless to say the girls were estatic about their new beds.

We now have a company Logo. Our neice-in-law encouraged us to have one made up. 

So here it is. ?

We were asked to make a base cabinet for the kitchen at the 1811 house. The home owner had antique cabinets they wanted placed on top of the base cabinet.

The cabinet’s total height is over 9 feet.  It was exciting to see it come together.

A week before Christmas, we had an order come in to make a custom horse stable for a little girl’s toy horses and doll. She sent us the dimentions, it was to be 22 inches high and 20 inches wide.

 This was a quick and fun project to put together. 

A customer of ours came by and dropped off a meal for us. It is called “Pastelon”, a plantain dish.

We are ever grateful for the kind thoughts and good deeds!
