That moment when you realize its such a difficult strip because the door underneath all the patches was a dart board mount!

This piece was a challenge - trim-over-fabric is a nice touch on top and bottom, but takes more work than the upholstery itself!

Because 100+ year old wooden vanity mirrors need help too. Broken/missing handle grain matched, sculpted to fit and finished to match.

And the final finish work! Hard to imagine where it started - look back at the process a few posts back if you missed it. Wonderful to get it back home and ready for another 100 years (or more).

Now the piece is assembled, checked over for aesthetics and function. Notice all the grain is aligned? Then repair and reinstall fancy appliques. And then to witness the natural color with the first sealer coat. This is the part where you hold your breath for an hour straight - its a refinishers skill used to make sure there are no defects when the base coat reveals them!!

Made a new top from laminated veneer core, the old stave core was wrong by design for expansion and contraction, plus warped in every direction imaginable. This top is stable, in line with grain on the rest of the piece, and my personal fave - axial oriented top grain rather than traditional left-to-right.
