Mark Sandercock Restoration

This platform rocker, i believe, sat on my customer's grand parent's front porch for decades. I pulled over 40 nails out of the joints, tapped in over the years, to keep it from falling apart. With green and brown paint, mildew, years of the elements and the sun, it looked really bad. Hehe. It's better now!

The previously featured table. The veneer was replaced with cherry then a gloss lacquer was applied and after curing, an arduous rubbing out with 320 grit, 600 grit papers, then pumice and oil completed by polishing with rottenstone and oil.

Using a rottenstone as a final rub out to get a glossy finish.

This will be fun. Customer wants to to be the darker walnut color that it was many years ago. Quarter sawn oak. Love it!

A Philco radio refurbished. An it works!

Use the center photo as the inspiration for my father's old Navy trunk. Said the customer. ...

Before and after.... An oak rocker, in lacquer with an ebony stain. Covered in a top grain, crocodile embossed red leather.

Delivering tables with my trusty sidekick.

Mmmm, a rich stain of mahogany.

Customer brought this in wanting to remove the shabby chic look.

The power of a good stripper!
