Tom and Jane were wonderful to deal with and while I did not end up having my piece restored by them at this time (due to a time-constraint) I wouldn't hesitate to use them for future projects. I would recommend them to anyone based on their prompt-communication, helpfulness, expertise and professionalism. These are people that truly care about their craft and their customers. If you need a piece of furniture restored, start by calling Tom and Jane!

I am satisfied with some of the restoration. However there are three specific aspects that I was not content with. We agreed upon a cap of $1000 for the task and this was exceeded. There also are two physical aspects of the task that are unprofessional. Screws were used to fasten venier in a sloppy fashion. Areas of replaced venier were not matched to the existing venier. The finish discolored this replacement. I would expect a true professional to be knowledgeable of the absorption and plan accordingly. I give a reasonable 3-stars based on these issues. Some of the restoration was very good.

He usually uses Famowood wood filler; most wood fillers can be brought back to life by adding acetone and mixing thoroughly

The beeswax and oil you use is it your recipe or a commercial product if it is your recipe would your share it. If it is a product which one please

Hi John, thanks for watching my videos! The polish I use is Howard's Feed N Wax https://www.howardproducts.com/product/feed-n-wax-wood-polish-and-conditioner/

Thomas, I appreciate your videos on restoration. Can you tell me what type (or brand) of glue is appropriate for breaks in solid woods on chairs? Thank you once more.
