This lovely Ibanez acoustic is a generation-traveler, so to see that its head had broken off during a move was heart-breaking. This repair was my first foray into soldering a bonding agent into wood by hand. I'm very happy to say that this guitar is once again whole and back home with its family!

This güiro mexicano was looking pretty dorky when I first discovered it. The piece now lacks its original classic colors, but instead has a much more classy and appealing finish.

This chair was part of a two-piece pick-up where I was told that its original owners had been using it since the 50's. Its classic structure had held up, so after some minor cosmetic patching and the regular slew of sealants and finishing, the original wood shines bright. The chair is ready for further re-upholstering or to be used as is!

The accompanying piece in the aforementioned pick-up, this rocker fully demonstrates its age through its beautiful design. I replaced its deteriorated seat with a metallic-colored cushion for a unique, aged look. It has also been structurally reinforced.

This side table was already lovable when I got it, so some wood treatment and a new coat of color was all that was needed. I'm unsure as to the dating of this piece, though it's certainly over 20 years old.

This Aria-made stratocaster bears the iconic Budweiser promotional logo of the 2000 Budweiser True Music release. It has no tremolo bar, but all associated pots, pickups, and pickup switch are working. There was a plain-to-see paint blemish on the bottom of the body that has since been repainted and lacquered. I adore this guitar, and my dream for it is to book a customization project using it's valuable components.

The bass trumpet shown here is a german-made Rauscher set to the tune of B flat. It comes with its case and documentation of its last service. While this accompaniment instrument is available to purchase, it is potentially quite valuable, so I am also looking into having it appraised.

This wooden bench was used by its previous owners as seating at the end of a bed. As I was treating and refinishing the wood, I went ahead and worked on the inner structure as well. As a result, this piece could be used as a bench or as a shoe nook or TV stand. Trust me, this item has many decades left!

These dining chairs feature awesome carpentry and classic rattan seating. As can be seen, the chairs were in great condition when I got them, but with the sealant and finish I added, they're sure to be around for years to come.
