Look for something with stains, scratches, or veneer damage—it’s very rewarding to see the transformation after your restoration work!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ll focus on veneered pieces or those with visible wood grain, so painted furniture isn’t ideal. You might already have a piece at home that needs some love, or you can find one on Marktplaats or at a thrift shop. I also stock a small selection of pieces to purchase for restoration. Email me for the list!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake sure your piece is thoroughly cleaned and free of grime and dust. This may involve using a degreaser such as St. Marc. If it’s not very dirty, dish soap and vinegar should be enough. Be mindful that moisture can damage exposed chipboard and cause veneer to bubble, so avoid getting the piece too wet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.

Following the second session, your piece will most likely need to remain at the workshop for a few additional days to allow the hard-wax oil to fully cure. The materials provided in the goodie bag will enable you to complete any remaining work at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure if you can make it?
