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

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. 

It is possible to refinish your own furniture, but it’s usually a good idea to leave the work to the professionals. Furniture refinishing often requires the use of paint stripper or solvents to remove existing finish, which can be dangerous to inhale. Additionally, it’s easy to make mistakes during the process that could permanently damage your piece, limiting its lifespan instead of extending it. Hiring a furniture refinishing professional is especially worthwhile for antique furniture, which often requires more delicate refinishing work.

To treat sun-damaged furniture, clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Next, assess the damage: Consider refinishing or applying a protective sealant for faded finishes. Apply furniture oil or conditioner to restore moisture to cracked or dry wood. Remember, the best way to treat your furniture is to prevent damage in the first place. Regular maintenance and preventive measures will keep your furniture looking its best. Lastly, it may be best to consult a professional furniture restorer or refinisher for expert repairs and restoration in severe cases.

Yes, there are several wood filler products on the market that look like wood. Your best bet is to take a cabinet door to your local hardware store to match the appropriate wood filler to your door. Some brands make filler that is masked to look like wood and can also be sanded, cut, stained, and painted. 

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.
