French Polishing
French Polishing is used as a general term for wood refinishing these days where protective finishes are applied to wood. A wood finish can protect wood from scratches, dirt, stains, moisture and wear. It can enhance the wood's natural beauty, colour, grain patterns and depth.
French Polish or Shellac is one of many different types of finish that we can apply, quite often a lacquer may be more suitable for high wear items.
We can guide you through the various options available, and suggest the most suitable to your needs.

Case Study 3 - Ercol Sidboard, Table and Chairs
This lovely set of Ercol furniture had been inherited by the customer. I was asked to keep many of the signs of use in order for the wood to keep its aged look, but to revive the tired finish and repolish the worn areas.
