Ian MacAdam's Furniture Refinishing

A step stool I made in January, made of solid maple and pine plywood for the sides. I was pretty happy with how it came out, despite how tricky some of the measurements were.

It’s been a while since I updated my page, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy. This is a project I did back in April 2024, and it was pretty straightforward. I was pretty happy with how they turned out.

A set of tables I refinished in February.

This was a little more tricky than most of my projects. The client wanted the pieces stripped to bare wood and given a clear finish, so I thought the way to get the best result was to take all the pieces apart so I could sand and finish each piece individually, rather than awkwardly try to get in the corners with sandpaper and such. All in all, i'm quite happy with how they turned out.

A set of dressers I repainted, fixed in July - August 2022.

This was a bit of a tricky job, with many different steps needed to get the result I wanted. I had to fix up some of the drawers as well as the drawer tracks, and tighten up the sides of the dressers that were coming apart. All in all, i'm pretty happy with the end result. What used to be a mismatched bunch now look like a set!

An oak table I refinished in May 2022.

This one was pretty straightforward, the table had basically no finish on the top and I was asked to spruce it up again. There were also a few cracks lifting up off the tabletop which I had to fix with some glue. I was pretty happy with the final result after a sand and a few coats of finish.
