Wooden Columns Refinishing

Restoration of hand carved columns

To refinish these columns was a challenge indeed! The color of the four hand carved columns along a wonderful sparkling swimming pool of the Mulholland residence were brown and there was hardly any color left. Wind, sun and rain had caused the paint to fade away over the years.

The home owners contacted me and asked me to refinish the columns. And as you can see on the picture, I found my way to the beautul carvings.

Suddenly you could see some contrast and the real beauty of the columns.

See the details! It was amazing how they looked after I sealed them with a varnish.

Call (818) 470 2932 if you have furniture or a wall which needs a new look.

I bought this cabinet with at least 5 layers of paint on it.  Everywhere there was a thick crust on old and new paint. So I sanded and sanded and sanded. Finally after many hours of sanding it started to look good. One layer of thin paint and another one with glaze, made the difference.  

If you have a cabinet you want to refinish call 818-470 2932.

Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the cabinet before I refinished it! It was all painted black and had no knobs but many scratches! Hard to believe…
