Antique Furniture repair


Picture
Picture
Maybe you have a chair or table which has become a little loose and unsteady? After many years of use the joints may be damaged or the glue used to secure the joints can fail.

When this happens the piece of furniture needs to be carefully taken apart, the joints cleaned to remove the old glue and then repaired where necessary.
During reassembly of antique pieces of furniture, I use the same type of glue that would have been used when the furniture was made all those years ago. If you need a chair repair, table repair or any other kind of furniture repair, please get in touch.

Wood Carving


Missing or broken carving work can be undertaken.

Woodcarving is a very labour intensive task as it’s all done by hand using a large variety of carving chisels and a wooden mallet.

The pictures here are just a few examples of the carving work I have been asked to do.

Wood turning

Picture
If you need a table leg repair, or maybe a chair leg repair and the design is rounded, a new one may need to be ‘turned’. This process is done on a lathe.

A broken leg can sometimes be saved by having a new section turned and used to make a repair rather than replacing the whole leg.


Replacement wooden knobs, bun feet and furniture legs are all things regularly turned on the lathe.

Veneer repair


Loose and missing veneers can be repaired. From small chips and missing sections to the complete reveneer of a top if necessary.

This table was badly water damaged and needed completely reveneering in Sapele veneer with a Teak cross banded edge. Replacing veneer is done by hand the traditional way, using animal glue and a veneer hammer.
