Today In The Seley Services Shop


Cabinet & Lamp Refinishing

Today in the Seley shop, we are refinishing a customer's handmade mahogany cabinets and lamps.  These pieces of furniture were made by a family member approximately 45 years ago, and are majorly in need of a facelift.

To update them, we'll first remove the hardware, then strip the existing finish.  We'll then sand and prep the pieces, followed by three coats of conversion varnish.  Conversion varnish is very durable and won't yellow over time.  It's a clear finish that will maintain and enhance the natural mahogany color.
