Before After

This was a canoe that I restored. The fiberglass was still good, but the wood was entirely rotten. To fix it I used cherry and remade every wooden part on the entire canoe. I finished it with linseed oil because it is durable and can be easily reapplied. $250

Before After

This is a maple and pine rustic coffee table that I restored. When the customer gave me the table the top was badly cupped, the finish was terrible, and almost no glue was used to make it. The result was a very wonky, ugly table. In fact if you put a coffee mug on it, the whole top would tip about 10 degrees. And to make matters worse, the top slab cracked open about an inch.

The table has now been fully rebuilt. First the whole table was disassembled. Then ugly finish was sanded off. The top was then flattened with a router. The crack was filled with black epoxy. Then after about 4 hours of power sanding the top to a very smooth finish, polyurethane was applied. Along with that the tiny metal brackets were replaced with an inlaid piece of plywood that was glued on. The table is now much more functional, and is more beautiful too. $200

These are custom chair reinforcements. The old reinforcement was made of a very cheap wood, that broke very easily. The new reinforcments are made of maple, and will stand the test of time. They are 10$ a set (2 per set).
