Renewing old lumber
Wood restoration is the process of returning damaged, weathered, or deteriorated wooden surfaces to their original or improved condition.
This typically involves cleaning, sanding, repairing cracks or rot, and refinishing with stains, oils, or sealants.
The term applies to furniture, flooring, architectural elements, and outdoor structures: The deck needed wood restoration after years of sun damage.
Professional wood restoration may include replacing severely damaged sections while preserving the piece's character and patina.
