I designed and built furniture for a Clifton Beach house about 10 years ago and was asked by the owners to re-sand and oil their furniture.
It was (and still is) one of my biggest jobs. I fitted the kitchen, bathrooms, bedroom etc., made bookshelves, even a Huon pine dining table.
Main timbers used are Celery Top for the kitchen, Myrtle and King Billy Pine for the bathrooms.
It was great to see the kitchen again, all the timbers have aged and developed more character and have gone a bit darker.
The owners looked after the furniture very well, nothing was damaged, and everything was clean. All I had to do was re-adjusting some hinges, sand the fronts and tops lightly, apply oil and polish fronts and tops.
It took two of us about 6 hours to bring the kitchen and bathrooms into the condition it was 10 years ago!
Its very rewarding to see how well my work lasts.
