I'm excited to introduce my skilled services within our wonderful community. Originally hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, I've had the pleasure of calling Oakland my home for the past 18 years. My craftsmanship journey has been a tapestry of experiences, starting in 2006 with building and designing hardwood furniture for the Cottage table company. Between 2014 and 2016, I immersed myself in the fascinating world of refinishing under the expert tutelage of Jameson at Grit Wood Finishing SF, gaining invaluable insights into the art of restoration. From 2016 to 2020, I had the privilege of working on designing, building, and installing one-of-a-kind art pieces for offices and events. My clientele included esteemed names such as Airbnb, Slack, Pinterest, Meta, Etsy and Uber. More recently, I completed an apprenticeship in high-end cabinet making from AC Woodworks, refining my skills and deepening my commitment to quality craftsmanship. Whether you're in search of bespoke hardwood furniture, expert refinishing services, assistance with Art hanging or just need an expert hand with furniture assembly, repair or a myriad of other handyman tasks I'm here to bring your visions to life. Don't hesitate to reach out, and let's collaborate on something truly special together. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and contributing a touch of artistry to our neighbourhood!

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts

In some cases, a simple clean, polish, and wax can make antique wood furniture look brand-new. However, always be sure to check the type and state of the current finish. Some furniture will require professional care, a new coat of finish, or even a new layer of stain to look like new.

Wood stain remover should remove most, if not all, of that wood stain on its own. While sanding can be a great final step, especially if you’re planning to paint or restrain the wood, it isn’t always required. Following the first three steps of this process can leave you with beautiful results. 

Yes, refinishing can decrease or even diminish the value of antique furniture, as most collectors look for original finishes to maintain the piece’s historical integrity. Learning how to clean antique wood and carefully restore the finish without stripping it is the best way to maintain the piece’s original value. Either way, it’s best to take it to a professional furniture refinishing and restoration expert rather than attempting a DIY restoration.

Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you’re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.

Stay away from using window cleaners and other harsh cleaning solutions on antique wood—or any wood in your home for that matter. The pH of the cleaners can break down the finish and permanently damage and stain the wood below. Even when it comes to more durable areas, such as when cleaning your baseboards, only use cleaning solutions that are safe for porous materials.
