ANTIQUE HOOSIER
The bottom section of this kitchen Hoosier (made popular in the first half of the 1900's), needed major repair after flying out of an open trailer. Two of the feet, numerous other parts, and a dozen torn and cracked areas needed wood replaced and repaired. The left hand door had to be put back together, and the whole drawer section was fixed and re-assembled.

Luckily the drawers were not in the cabinet when it shattered, but they too needed some repair and a re-fit. All the new work was stained to blend into the original finish.

The hoosier ended up super sturdy and in better working order than before the restoration. It was then reunited with the marble counter and top section. A treasured piece of furniture ready for more useful service.

This garden chair was discolored from the weather, and had a large piece of wood missing from around the folding hinge.
