Restoration project

 Here is my mother's antique sewing table that I grew up learning on, it was my grandmother's before her.

When it was shipped, the moving company did not do the right thing and dropped it causing the bracket that held the actual machine to break off the timber support. That then dropped into the casing which cracked the entire frame and casing.

So, I am currently in the process of rebuilding the casing and restoring the worn cracked veneer.

Side by side trying to color match

Rough cut of the frame to ensure the size and detail of the curve are exact.


Making sure the drawer slider is the right size

Fixing the frame supports

Almost an exact color match
