Have a piece of antique furniture that's seen better days? There are two primary reasons to refinish your antique furniture: to protect the wood and to enhance its appearance. Without the protection of a finish, the wood surface becomes soiled, dull, and grayish looking. At times, the soil penetrates below the surface and never comes out, leaving dark blotches and rings. On woods like walnut, mahogany, and cherry, a finish really shows off the rich grain contrasts and adds value to the piece. Let us help return it to its former glory.
