What is the difference between wood putty and wood filler?

• <div><p>When browsing the hardware store, you may wonder about <a href="https://angi.com/articles/wood-putty-vs-filler.htm">wood putty versus wood filler</a>. Wood putty is made with plastic adhesive, whereas wood filler is made from sawdust or wood products. </p><p>The main difference is that people use wood filler to fix the interior portions of wood. Wood putty contains chemicals that could damage the inside of wood, so it's best for exterior sections. If the crack or hole goes into the middle of the lumber, it's the right product for the job.</p></div>

How do I know if my wood furniture is worth refinishing?

• <div><p>Telling the difference between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-wood-furniture.htm">high-quality wood furniture</a> and lower-quality pieces is challenging, but there are a few sign that indicate whether your furniture is worth repairing:</p><ul><li><p>Push your fingernail into an inconspicuous section of the wood. If it doesn’t leave a dent, it’s likely hardwood and is well worth a repair.</p></li><li><p>Unzip the bottom of couches to look for the structural components. If they’re made of wood rather than particle board, it’s likely worth refinishing.</p></li><li><p>Ask a local furniture repair technician. A reputable professional will let you know if you’re better off replacing rather than refinishing your specific item.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

I could not have been happier with Letizia's Refinishing. They did an absolutely beautiful job repairing and refinishing my dresser. Gary, the owner, was wonderful. He spent a lot of his own time helping me find hardware which would fit the drawers, and was always available when I called with...

Called them to refinish my lacquer dining chairs and table top, but decided to buy new chairs instead. Also asked them to fix the tray which they did. Will have them refinish the table top when the chairs come, to match the color.
