Do It Yourself
Furniture Refinishing.

Our Catalog Center has links to suppliers of refinishing materials, reed and cane supplies for chair seats and wicker repair.

We also have links to new furniture, wood, leather and wicker. Childrens bedroom furniture is one of our first.

Watch for weathervanes, sundials, bird baths and some other interesting items too. We'll try to add some history and intesting facts as well as purchasing information.

Never an obligation, just take a look for the interesting information.

Would you believe, Bag Balm is one of the best products for skin care when you're stripping! Ask any cow, farmer or my wife. Actually I've never carried on a very deep conversation with a cow, but I've read what farmers have to say and my wife has always sworn by Bag Balm protection on her hands when she was stripping furniture.

Please visit our comment page linked at the bottom of the page and let us know who you are and the project you're working on. Please leave some tips for others.

Furniture refinishing and antique restoration is a very satisfying experience as well as money saving.

Restoring antiques, and a few asides about marble, particle board, plastic and anything else that comes to mind concerning your furniture.

This web site will be like the internet, never static and never completed. There is always more information to share and as requests for additional help come in they create a new, "ah! ha! I've got to add that to the web site". The main limitation is time. We'll add information as quickly as possible, so come back often.

You will see frequent references to material and supplies. We recommend several products that we have used over the years and have had good results with. There will be some products shown that we haven't used and we'll let you know when that happens.

Wicker and rattan is difficult to work with, but not impossible, we have some tips for it too, for example, Cleaning Wicker and Refinishing Wicker.

There is an awful lot of particle board used in furniture now days, and a piece of furniture with particle board in it will never become an antique, so we need to preserve all the wood furniture we can for the sake of antiques in the future.

We have lots of free tips for working with baby furniture, office furniture, bedroom furniture, dining room furniture and types of strippers.

I have spent a lifetime, both puttering with, and being serious about wood. My wife and I had a Furniture Repair and Refinishing business for 20 plus years before that eventful time called retirement came, but I made a career change as a webmaster and giving free information instead of retiring.

We have always been free with information with customers and do-it-yourselfers alike and we would like to continue to help people to bring life back to wood furniture.
