Yeah, I can't take any credit for that. Excellent. I learned a lot of shellac information from videos by Thomas Johnson Antique Furniture Restoration. And he stays true to the name, furniture only, whereas that is only a part of what I do.

We have a furniture refinishing place in Long Beach that stays plenty busy although I suspect they are a bit slow these days due to the recession the business is experiencing. My dealers are all down by 50% or more. The refinisher strips and sprays lacquer finishes and they look it. Patrick's hand applied, hand rubbed work shows craftsmanship that doesn't come from a spray gun.

Working around the decal is the mark of rejuvenating or repairing a finish as opposed to stripping off all the old finish. WRT to the dealers that send me work, this is what they want. No trace of rework if possible but no faking either.

Well done Patrick.
