Wondering if anyone here is into woodworking and/or refinishing/restoration. After my father-in-law passed away, we inherited quite a bit of furniture that had been in the family for 100+ years. My husband and I rented a large truck and brought everything back from Kansas. One is an old cherry rolltop desk. The thing was so heavy, I almost killed myself lifting my end of it into the truck. It needs to be re-finished and I have neither the time or ability to do it. However, I am willing to pay someone (preferably from APC) to do the work for me. We'll negotiate a fair price.
My second question: I have a plain wooden jewelry box made of a light colored wood. I'd like to "burn" the recipient's initials on the lid. What is this process called and where can I get it done? Again, I probably won't be able to do it myself without burning my eyebrows off or setting the entire house on fire along with the aforementioned rolltop desk!
