An exercise in detail copying... I have made a new finial to replace a missing one on this oak sideboard... can you decide which is the new and which is the original finial?

Another repair/renovation completed... Badly split and woodworm riddled sides replaced together with bits of missing mouldings. Re-polished and ready for many years more service!

Another job almost finished; just needs a bit more work on the polishing.
This piece of Yew reproduction furniture was originally made by Bissett and Brunton Ltd who had a factory making furniture next to The Blue Anchor pub in Boundary Road. Portslade and which closed 30 or more years ago I think.
It was brought to me by the daughter of Mr Bisset the original owner of the business who had acquired the piece in a very sorry condition (see photos) and wanted it restored to keep as a memory of her father who died in the early 90s
A lot of the parts of the upper section were either missing or in a bad condition and the veneering of the upper top had suffered water damage.. I have remade totally the cross band veneered upper top complete with reproducing the 'pie crust' moulding around the edge and made two new turned 'posts' together with a replacement rosette. I have also had to carefully piece in quite a few pieces of missing veneer at the back of the lower top and around the base.
Quite a challenge this one!!
