About the Workshop
We are a specialized studio based in Delaware, dedicated to the restoration and protection of everyday surfaces. Our approach combines traditional craftsmanship with modern material science to deliver reliable, predictable outcomes.
We provide finishing services for wood, architectural metal, and furniture hardware. Each project is carefully evaluated to determine the most appropriate restoration methodology. Our team works with precision abrasives, polymerizing natural oils, and restoration‑grade protective coatings.
All materials are sourced from established distributors, with full MSDS documentation maintained for compliance and quality assurance. Serving both residential clients and commercial partners across the Tri‑State area, our workshop operates strictly by appointment, ensuring each project receives focused attention and technical care.

Industrial Grade Solutions
Our workflow follows standardized restoration protocols designed to ensure reproducibility, compliance, and long‑term stability. We do not rely on consumer‑grade products or improvised techniques. Every material is selected for its performance characteristics and documented compatibility with substrate materials.
We utilize precision abrasives ranging from coarse to ultra‑fine grits, polymerizing natural oils, museum‑grade micro‑crystalline waxes, and restoration‑grade solvents engineered for professional surface protection. Our chemical inventory includes pH‑balanced cleaners, oxidation removers, and specialized agents approved for restoration work.
Each product is tested for substrate compatibility before application. Batch numbers, cure schedules, and material safety data sheets are logged in our technical library to ensure durability, aesthetic excellence, and compliance with restoration standards.
Our Restoration Process
01
Surface Evaluation & Testing
Material identification, finish type, damage extent, structural integrity, baseline photography, and restoration specification.
02
Chemical & Mechanical Cleaning
Removal of contaminants, old finishes, and oxidation using pH‑balanced cleaners and solvent selection protocols. This stage prepares the surface for proper adhesion of new protective coatings.
03
Precision Sanding & Preparation
Progressive abrasive treatment with calibrated grits to achieve the specified surface profile. Abrasion profile measurement ensures uniform texture and optimal finish acceptance.
04
Multi-layer Protective Finishing
Application of polymerizing oils, micro‑crystalline waxes, or protective coatings in controlled layers. Each layer follows documented cure schedules before subsequent applications. Final buffing highlights the natural character of the material.
Material Science Approach
Understanding Substrates
We analyze the chemical and physical properties of each substrate, documenting species, alloys, and finish types before selecting restoration methods. Different wood species, metal alloys, and finish types require specific approaches to achieve optimal results.
Protective Chemistry
Our finishing systems rely on proven chemistry. Polymerizing natural oils form protective films, while museum‑grade micro‑crystalline waxes create hydrophobic barriers that repel moisture and contaminants without obscuring the substrate.
Application Technique
Proper application technique is as important as material selection. We control temperature, humidity, and cure schedules, documenting each stage to ensure full protective properties. Rushing the process compromises durability and compliance.
