Refinishing and staining
The tired finish comes off, the bare wood gets a stain chosen for that species, and a new finish is built up coat by coat.
How a refinish goes
David Teegarden · 30+ years at the bench
Furniture refinishing on West George Street
If it's wood, we can handle it. Pay when you're satisfied.
A 225-year-old clock
The repair that undid two bad ones
“David at T-N-T furniture did a superb restoration job on our 225 plus year old clock with very unique tiger/curly maple.”
“Another local guy did a bum job on a crack repair and a previous owner had a lousy refinish job years ago, otherwise, we would not have touched it. But now, clock is very beautiful again with smooth finish and excellent turnaround time and communications.”
Before and after
Stripped back to the wood, then built up again
Four pieces from the shop’s own before-and-after file. Same concrete floor in every pair. Everything standing on it changed.

Where David looks first on a chest like this
A flame-mahogany serpentine chest from the shop floor. Each pin is a place old furniture wears, and a place a refinish has to get right.
The shop’s own line
If it’s wood, we can handle it.
Pianos, chairs, tables, hutches, dressers and more. Residential and commercial, in any kind of wood, from a 1948 Lane cedar chest to a tall clock in its third century.
