Antique Blanket Chest Restoration
This was a heirloom piece from a client that had it in their family for the better part of the last century. Kept in a basement for many years it had sustained a lot of moisture abuse which had to be addressed. After fixing it structurally and replacing wood that was either broken or rotten I fixed in the internal box, and installed a new piano hinge and new period brass hardware/lockset. I was able to get restoration hardware to match the era. The finish is a deep mahogany stain and a ultra-durable conversion varnish for a glass like finish.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a maker at heart but woodwork has always been my trade. I've worked professionally for several years in high end residential millwork, cabinetry, furniture, and interiors. Having my own shop and business now, I tend to stick to smaller projects and have shifted to do a lot of projects with my CNC router, whether it be signs, custom parts, or wood stands and crafts. I have strayed from building larger projects such as full kitchens or libraries and build one off furniture pieces that I can handle in my smaller shop.
