A customers vision coming to life is always the main goal! This customer bought this piece and was hoping to remove all of the paint to show the natural timber with an old charm added to it. We had to work out a way to make this piece look old and charming whilst keeping a consistent colour to it. A new marble top, some legs all the way from Turkey and some skilful work from the man himself @salvador__furniture pulled this piece into our customers vision. Great effort! #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Italian Louis Writing Desk freshly polished. This piece was originally going to be restored and then auctioned off by our client. Once the piece was delivered back to them, they decided to keep it!

Another piece has just been saved by us! This piece came to our workshop in a very sad state.

In the end, we got it looking as if nothing had ever happened to it and had a very happy customer that we delivered it back to! #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #mahogany #credenza #mahoganycredenza #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

We have just finished restoring these gorgeous old Oregon Window Frames. The pair of windows were salvaged from Balmain and then brought to us to be restored.

We carefully restored this piece to its natural colour. New finials were turned & fitted and we also polished those beautiful tiles.

Two pieces have just been completely stripped back and refinished in their natural colour to reveal their true potential. Our client was having her floors sanded and refinished and wanted these two pieces to tie in with the new floors as the old finish was very dark and outdated. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #darktolight #naturaltimber #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Rustic Dining Table & 8x chairs freshly restored. The old finish featured a washed top that was beginning to yellow and the stain was rubbing away. We resprayed all of the old grey with our fresh white lacquer and washed the table top and chair pads with a custom white wash. A very sleek & modern finish. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #modern #coastal #whitefurniture #modernfurniture #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

One of the heaviest pieces of 2020 has just been delivered back to our customer!

Gorgeous Mirrored Cocktail & Drinks Cabinet completely restored. This cabinet had never been worked on before so it was in a sorry state. All of the veneer was missing on both upright panels & a lot of it had bubbled and lifted. Our client had all new mirrors cut to replace the old ones.

A big project for The Scots College that we took a lot of pride in doing. In collaboration with @custom.rail. These two pieces (Lectern & Communion Table) have been recreated by Graeme and stained & polished by us here at Sherwood Polishing to recreate the original pieces that were destroyed in a fire back in 1975 at The Scots College in Bellevue Hill. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #recreate #rosewood #thescotscollege #thescotscollegesydney #handcarved #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Repost - @familyof5joys This is a beautiful optometrist cupboard that’s been in the family for years. Left neglected in farm sheds for years after it’s use as an optometrist cupboard was over. It’s travelled from Qld to NSW a little while ago and was sent straight to Paul Sherwood’s team. Make sure you scroll to see it’s original condition. What an amazing job, such care taken, communication along the way with progress shots and they even delivered it once complete. We couldn’t be happier. #supportlocal #optometrist #antique #frenchpolisher #paulsherwood #centralcoast #drawers #attentiontodetail #optometry #sherwoodpolishing @sherwoodpolishing

Intricate Optometrists Cabinet completely restored. This piece was a monster to work on. A mountain of repair work, from missing chunks of timber to broken drawer runners and splitting boards. It was all stripped back to reveal its natural beauty. A traditional Shellac & Soft Wax finish to top it all off. What a pleasure to work on such a unique piece! #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #naturaltimber #shellacandwax #optometrist #naturalfinish #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Beautiful custom-made Oak Dining Table repaired & restored back to its former glory days. Most of the blocks were lifting due to the adhesive below being old and absorbing moisture which weakened the bond. They were carefully removed, cleaned ®glued back in place. All gaps and cracks were filled to customers specifications. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #repairwork #timberrepair #custommade #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Make sure you check out this job that we recently finished. All of these pieces were bought 28 years ago from a local Australian Furniture Shop. Our customer thought that she would modernise these pieces instead of buying new and was so ecstatic at the end result! #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #modern #modernisation #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Parker Sideboard restored. This came all the way from Warialda to be restored by us! Someone had tried to varnish this sideboard on their own and left brush strokes all over it.

Modernised this Pine Display Cabinet. Our client was updating her house and wanted to keep her Display Cabinet.

This Dining Room Suite has just left the workshop. They were pondering whether or not to buy the piece and have it restored to their liking by us. Once we talked to them about what they would like to do and chose a paint colour that suited them, they decided to buy the set. We delivered it back this afternoon to them and they were delighted that their idea came to life and lived up to their expectations. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #diningroomsuite #traditional #ballandclaw #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Incredible transformation on this English Oak Sideboard. This piece had been in our clients family for years and had never been restored before. We used a lot of TLC on this piece to get it to its current state. Finished in its natural Honey Oak colour with cleaned hardware 👌🏻. We also polished a nice Art Deco Hall Cabinet as well. It had some old stain applied to it that we are able to remove and refinish it natural as well. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #englishoak #englishantiques ##traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #darktolight #carving #carvingwood #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Dining Table stripped back and colour matched to customers specifications. Our customer came to us with a beautiful Queen Anne Maple dining table that he wanted stripped back and matched closer to his Entertainment Unit that he just bought.

Our customer gave us a call informing us that her upright piano was starting to lean forward. These legs were about to split in half. The injuries that could have been sustained if slightly bumped could have been disastrous!

Modernised this Dining Room Suite. The old cream paint work was well past it’s used by date. Our customer requested a popular paint colour ‘Antique White USA’. We stripped off all of the old paint work. Removed some old mouldings that were plastic as well.

We have just delivered 3x pieces to Wyongah. All of these pieces needed some big restoration work done to them. The Dining Table had a huge ink mark in the top that we didn’t think we could be able to get out. Fortunately, after repeated applications we were able to pull 95% of the mark out of the top. The customer also wanted to lighten up the pieces to match in with their newly polished floorboards. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #maple #oak #retro #coffeetable #diningtable #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture

Modernised Cedar Chiffonier. A long list of repairs to be done to this piece. From a completely split top to missing mouldings and structural repairs.

Rocking chair brought back to life. We almost called our customer to inform him that we might not be able to restore this piece as it was too far gone. The entire chair was out of whack and the timber was delaminating badly. Instead we persisted with all the repair work that needed to be done. In the end we came to find out that this piece had huge sentimental value to our customer and that really made it all worth it. There is no better feeling than breathing life into a piece that someone cherishes & holds many memories. #restoration #oldschool #craftsmen #antiquefurniture #woodworking #woodwork #rockingchair #sentimental #trashtotreasure #traditional #backtolife #refinishedfurniture #renovate #homeimprovement #furniturerestoration #paulsherwood #revivedfurniture #sydneyfrenchpolisher #newcastlefrenchpolisher #ccfrenchpolisher #centralcoast #finefurniture
