Original value that would have come from having to harvest the wood,from taking the time to select it and the drying by air process one year in this case. Then they wood make their own profile for hand plane for the dress edges.For me,the tree began its journey,safely saying yrs before the home..possibly early. Considering all the efforts and its fate to become a fireplace facade in its new form...why change it if it works ..right..so why not value all those arduous process...es! In hence,our efforts are small with a lot of value..how lucky are we to have it come thru our workshop,valuable in its spirit too. #fireplace #mantel #facade #1700s #repair #wexlerclamps #usa #revivalworkshop #woodspirit #woodplane #handdress

Couple wished to have their individual heirloom nightstand to resemble each other in color. One nightstand had a cherry carcass with mahogany drawer front while the other was all genuine mahogany. We used Dragons blood a red resin in use since ancient times as varnish, medicine, incense, and dye - to generate the initial mahogany pallet. We proceeded with the arduous task of multiple coats of varnish applied by brush. And of course, the finishes are rubbed and waxed. ...Footnote: The Client and I speculate that the Cherry nightstand was most likely built in the Pennsylvania countryside where cherry is indigenous and more common. The other nightstand was most likely built in the city where the availability of mahogany is higher due to ports. Therefore, one nightstand was fabricated in 100 percent mahogany, while the other only used the mahogany that reached the countryside in the drawer fronts. Stretching resources in the 19th century.
