stain.

Small antique walnut writing desk with decorative inlays and banding some of which needed replacing. Fully restored the whole desk finishing with a deep polish.

A traditional style to complement the existing furniture, this is made from ash.

Japanese wardrobes.

Walnut is used with an Indian Rosewood stain.

Four reclaimed pine doors used to make wall to wall wardrobes. I stained and polished them to match the existing door and fire place.

I had to tear down the old lath and plaster ceiling in order to under brace the floor above to strengthen it. It gives the room a neat finish.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog.
My name is Jon Lindup. I am a furniture maker and antique restorer with many years experience working in both trades.

This blog is to give you a taster of what I make. I hope to update it with photos of my most recent projects as well as some older pieces that I'm particularly proud of.

Working as an antique restorer has taken me across Europe and over to New York. I have seen and worked upon some truly amazing pieces of furniture but making my own furniture and working to other peoples designs gives me the greatest sense of achievement. I hope that you can see that I'm a perfectionist and enjoy making beautifully hand crafted pieces taking care to finish them to the highest standard.

Enjoy my blog!
