We use glue blocks to strengthen moldings and feet. Tabletops are attached with wood screws in screw pockets. We will use modern techniques if we feel they add to the quality of the piece without spoiling the historical integrity. Our knobs are original shaker knobs with the turn latch on the back side of the door. Hinges are hand forged and aged for the complete distressed effect.
Antique glass is used on the cupboards.
These finishes are very forgiving over the years, any new nicks and scratches from normal use can easily be touched up. Designer Finishes have no wear added to these areas. All of our finishes are accomplished by hand, so each piece has its own personality and may vary in texture, age and color. There is an up-charge for graining. One color over another color is also offered in antique crackle and ultra museum finishes.
