ABOUT US

I have learned and developed many tips, shortcuts and secrets over 37 years while running an antique refurbishing business. I love auctions and repurposing the things no one seems to want. It's my desire to stimulate or encourage your interest in refurbishing wood furniture,rescuing,repurposing and creating useful items for your home. Every piece of wood has a distinct and unique characteristic that must be recognized. Nothing can be manufactured with the beauty of natural grain and patina of wood.

Fine furniture needs TLC...wipe up spills

Our dinning tables takes some of the worst beating of any item in our homes. So they need extra TLC. All spills sould be wiped up imediately. Then the area should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any residue left that might eventually harm the surface. Don't use harsh cleaners or abrasives. Always wipe with a dry cloth anytime you use a damp cloth on wood. Follow with a protective coat of Lemon Oil Beeswax.
Do not use solvents,alcohol, nail polish or nail polish remover around wood furniture surfaces as these will eat clear thru the finish. The only way to fix the damage is to refinish the top which could be costly. Such damage could also reduce the value of Antiques.
