Hi Rita: You can check your local art sources for woodworkers who make
benches. They would have some advice and possible sources for you. You
might also check with antique dealers in your area as well for
woodworking sources. Barbara Nehring, Land O’ Lakes Historical

the original finished surface which would be retained. If you have had
this kind of work done, please share any information about who did it
and the results. I don’t think we need the very highly
professional art restoration people who work on murals, walls, paintings
and other extremely valuable surfaces. If you are aware of sources for
people who do this kind of work even though you haven’t used
there skills that would be helpful.
