When polishing your furniture - avoid polishes with silicone - these can break down the finish on your furniture over time.
Use felt backing on lamps, ashtrays, and other accessories to prevent scratching and gouging.
Avoid using nail polish remover or other harsh household products near wood furniture to avoid possible damage from spills or splashes.
Because the brass hardware on your fine furniture has a protective finish to prevent tarnishing, an occasional dusting is all that is necessary.
Furniture oils will temporarily enhance the finish and appearance, but can contribute to the degradation of the finish over time as oils leave a residue that can attract dust and dirt build up.

Are your services expensive?
Repairing furniture is a unique process and there is typically not a one-size fits all process.
Wood Menders offers 3 levels of service based on the quality of furniture, what needs to be done and of course your budget.
The 3 service level options will be discussed with you during the quoting process.
You can expect an honest, expert opinion on whether or not your furniture is worth repairing.
Can you really repair everything on-site in my home?
Most repairs can be done right on-site in your home or office, sometimes it makes sense to bring it back to our shop and complete the repairs there.

Because your windows fit your house.
Quirky as they might be, your older windows fit your house.
Care was taken to match the weight and style of window to the building, the trim, etc.
They have expanded and contracted with the seasons.
With proper weather stripping they can be made to fit and seal even better.
Replacement windows have a rigid structure that fits within your window openings.
Old houses move and shift over time and frequently the gaps that open up around replacement windows and the window openings result in more drafts than the original windows.

This is not an easy project for a beginning SketchUp user, so I would like to show ways of breaking this down into a do-able job.
It is very helpful if there are good photos of the furniture piece, ones that are taken perpendicular to the major structural faces of the object.
After importing the rough sketches, I straightened them to align with the Axes, and scaled to full size.
I began to outline the shapes of all the major components, legs, rails, arms, and back slats.
Next I gave these roughed-out shapes thickness and turned them into 3D Groups, then arranged them to Intersect the different views.
