It seems we are sometimes afraid to entrust our furniture to repair shops so we decide to repair it ourselves. Thanks for posting. Good read.

The Society of Gilders is also great if you are looking for frame repair and gilding. Nice article with very valid points especially the point about "go with your gut."

His "show and tell" repair and antique identification presentation was really informative.

I have this very same table which my aunt and I 'antiqued' back in the 1970s, it is a lovely shade of greenish. Thank goodness it peels off like fingernail polish. Refinishing furniture has been a passion of mine for many years. I have a project that I am working on now where I am rebuilding the bottom of this unique dresser/desk/curved shelving unit. I picked it up off of the side of the road and it looks like it had been sitting in water. I am using fiberglass sheeting and bondo to rebuild and strengthen the bottom. It is a challenge but so far it is working really well. I will have to post some before and after photos. Thank you Mr. Taylor for all the knowledge you share. I love the photo you have up.
