I trusted Don with two very special items in my household. The first being a walnut desk that my dad made in his high school shop class (1970) that had been totally wrecked in a recent move. The movers somehow put about 10 screw holes into the top of the desk, scraping it terribly and losing some piece that allows the drawers to be affixed to the top. Don made it so that you cant even tell there were bug ragged screw holes in top and i think the desk is even more structurally sound than ever! The finish is buttery smooth but Don was sure to leave the markings on the bottom that my dad made while building this piece 50 years ago. The second item was an antique wall clock (c. 1890s) that has been in the family for atleast 3 generations. The clock lived in attics and closets and storage for the last 30 years and was in rough shape. Don made it look period-authentic and fresh, fixing the face and resetting it, hydrating and refinishing the cabinet, cleaning the face and repainting the hands and even ordering and installing a new glass for the face. My dad was incredibly touched to see both pieces and was incredibly impressed with the work. Don is a master at his craft and I will definitely be using his services again!

Old Virginia Woodworking is one of the very finest businesses with whom I have have ever dealt. They are honest, highly skilled craftsmen, who have a gifted eye for beauty, restoration, and fulfilling new commissions.

Excellent service and an outstanding refinishing of the antique table.

Don did a wonderful job on the two pieces brought to him. The pie safe (pictured) needed some major TLC and Don came through with flying colors. It looks great for a piece from 1720!

Wanted to share my wonderful blessing with everyone. My 90-yr old Mom was thrilled with the color and workmanship of the transformation done to her 40-yr old captains chairs for her kitchen set. She is so very pleased and wants everyone to know what a professional job Mr. Don does. Please check out his website and let him take your family treasures and lovingly transform them into family heirlooms again. God has truly blessed this man with a wonderful talent.Thank you again.

Earlier in our marriage, my wife and I purchased a unique pie safe in good condition.its our favorite piece of furniture in the house. After graduation we decided to have it restored. This was not a piece I wanted just any furnishing shop to redo or work on. I found Don on Facebook and brought it to him. Don immediately was able to give me a lot of information about our pie safe (techniques, material, design philosophy) that isn’t information you can easily find on google. Not gonna lie the price did catch me off guard a little, but I 100% would have paid it x2 after seeing the finished product. Don and his years of experience shine through our piece and look forward to handing it down to our kids and hopefully their kids.

We have a pine coffee table that was damaged by a decoration that caught fire and burned a portion of the top of the table. We had heard good things about Old Virginia Woodworking, so we contacted Don and took the table to him to evaluate. After thinking about it a few days, we authorized the repair/restoration. He did a beautiful job and gave us back a table that looked almost new. I am thankful for his expertise and willingness to take on this task. My wife and I highly recommend Old Virginia Woodworking.
