I was asked to refinish some beautiful mahogany front doors on a home in Long Beach, MS. The finish had cracked and worn down to the bare wood at the bottom and was near non- existence on the top. After sanding down the doors, the wood was so beautiful, the client decided to just keep the light color that had developed over the past eight years of weather and sunlight. I couldn't have agreed more. I used three coats of Helmsman Spar Urethane. I sanded with 400 grit between coats. I also distressed the handle and spar coated over the...

It was made to resemble a four pane window. The two doors open up on separate hinges. The finish is called a primitive white. The names and wedding date are imaged onto the wood finish.

Lots of drawers for small storage items, this 15 drawer cabinet was painted a shell/cream, distressed to show the dark original primitive finish that has stayed apart of this antique cured wood.

This console display chest of drawers was built using windows from the early 1900's. The glass knobs on the six drawers and two cabinet doors have 1858 stamped on them which compliment the age of the windows used in the construction. The two deer head knobs at the bottom add a decorative touch to the character. The legs were cut out of an old twin size head and foot board.                             The top of the chest has been finished to compliment the weathered cracked effect that time...
