Why spend money on expensive new furniture when you can refinish, restore or repair the furniture you already have at a fraction of the cost?
A number of years ago, I contacted two furniture repair companies to give me an estimate to refinish my dining table and chairs. Neither one took the time to explain anything to me, to give me any options, or to put anything in writing. I jokingly told my wife that I should go into the furntiure repair business and put these guys (with poor customer service and professionalism) out of business. She said, "Go ahead", and the rest is history. My plan was to teach myself the business a few years before I left the corporate world (senior manager with the Coca Cola Bottling Company of Hawaii), so that I would be good enough to take on some jobs.
Wood Elixir was developed by an antique dealer and restorer in Canada to solve an age-old conundrum: the finish on antique furniture is frequently in such poor condition as to require refinishing. But, refinishing is expensive and the old finish is more valuable than a new finish. Consequently, you can spend money refinishing and actually REDUCE the value of the piece. This 100+ year old chair was restored with Wood Elixir only, using '00' and '0000' steel wool. Wood Elixir removed years of dirt and grime to revive the valuable and beautiful patina.
