    Heavy wooden table repair

    A good repair to a table that had split along a joint. The repair is invisible, so we are very pleased. Recommended for wood furniture repairs or restorations.

    Restored by a true craftsman

    Piers Shrapnell was fabulous. He was quick, prompt and helpful in all his communications with me. He gave great advice around suitable products to use in maintaining the silky smooth finish of our dining table, side table and blanket box. I had the teak side table from my grandmother, I had never seen it without the marks before. The blanket box had been made from an old dance floor and had been brought back to Britain when my Mam and family returned from living abroad. It had the marks of a well loved piece of furniture. Piers has restored it to its former glory- beautiful.
