Pew Refinishing

Refinishing continues at one of the warehouse locations of Milan Restorations. They have taken the pews, serialized to mark their location in the Church, and stripped off fifty years of wear and tear. Chemical stripping to remove the existing finish, the pews are then washed and prepped for sanding. This sanding operation will remove any residual finish not removed by the chemical process. It also puts a smooth surface back on the wood to prepare it for staining and finishing. It's as if they were made from scratch! Hard to believe these are fifty years old. In this picture, you can see some of the pews that have not been stripped in the background, showing us the original color, with those in the foreground going through the chemical process. More of the cleaned and sanded ones can be seen in the slideshow. Thanks for following along! Ps 56:4 In God I put my trust.
