How We Undertake Your Commission
-

Liquid hide glue is placed under lifted veneer using micro-needles or gentle scalpel incisions.
-

Heated Caul Pressing
Warm zinc cauls are clamped over the area to press the veneer flush with the carcass.

Grain Infill and Colour Blending
Missing fragments are inlaid with period-correct timber and blended with shellac.

Kind Words from Local Patrons
The team collected our damaged Victorian dining table and restored the loose legs with absolute precision. The grain matching on the spliced leaf is completely unnoticeable.
Eleanor V., Leicester, GBMindfultasknotes revived our family oak bureau after decades of sunlight fading. The hand-applied wax finish looks deep and gentle, retaining every trace of genuine patina.
Julian M., Leicester, GBFour spindle-back chairs were wobbly and unsafe to sit upon. They were dismantled, re-pegged, and returned in sound condition. Excellent communication from their craftsmen.
