Antique Church Pew, Before






We bought this church pew at an antique shop at a deal! This is the before pic before we restored it! It needed a lot of cleaning but nothing a little love and hard work couldn't take care of! The owner of the shop was planning on refinishing it but we wanted it "as is" and got a deal! Please excuse the room it's in. That's a whole other project we have been working on.



Mario and I knew that the Howard Products would restore the pew without the need of a complete strip and refinish which would lose all of the great original character. Restor- A- Shine Polishing compound along with steel wool would restore the finish. We also used the Howard Restor- A- Finish in walnut to restore the wood color back to its original rich color . Finally we applied the Feed-N-Wax preserve to seal all our work. The whole process took about an hour.
