    That buffet turned out to be a one in a million piece. For a guy who says, “”I’m not a wood worker.” You’ve got mad skills. What a transformation! Great job, that piece will bring happiness to another family for years to come. Fantastic!!!

    That turned out beautiful. I have to say, I was a little worried you might paint it, or change the legs/hardware, because even though there is painted furniture I do really like, there are certain pieces I cringe at seeing them painted, or changed a great deal in order to update. This was a piece I am very happy you went with restoration.
    Well done!

    You literally gave new life to a piece that otherwise would probably end-up as firewood. That style buffet would make an outstanding bathroom vanity. Add vessel sinks/faucets and it's perfect. Or it could be a beautiful addition to any formal dining room or Great Room. Your repairs were 'spot-on'. As a result your buffet probably has another 50+ years of functionality. (I noticed your attention to insuring the buffet was thoroughly cleaned and prepped. Truly proud workmanship every time!)

It was the challenge you did with (I forgot his name) but you gave him the purple flower power dresser.. the piece you did.. I think was your best work to date and I feel in love with it.
