Let Terry Waters French Polishing bring a flawless finish to flooring
full listFirst a wooden Vespa – now a wooden car! Our wood restoration dreams move from two wheels to four
Wow – what IS the trend for wooden forms of transport? No sooner have we discovered a Carlos Alberto’s beautiful wooden Vespa than we find a wooden racing car right here in the UK!
Let us use our wood preservation expertise to bring out the shine in your flooring
It’s that time of year again. The nights are drawing in, the mornings are getting chilly and on our TV screens, a whole raft of celebrities are queuing up to make fools of themselves on the dancefloor in BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Let us work our magic on your wooden floor
Such is the pervasiveness of the continuing trend for exposed wooden floorboards, it seems unthinkable that once pretty much every pub, restaurant and home you walked into had wall-to-wall carpets throughout.
Call in the wood restoration experts for your bar or restaurant
If there’s one place where the use of wood can really have an impact, it’s in a bar. We recently visited London bar Callooh Callay which featured, among other items, a bar area with unusual wooden decking underneath the main counter; parquet flooring in some places and wide stained shabby-chic floorboards in others; highly-polished retro veneer tables for diners and antique-style carved wooden occasional tables for drinkers. Phew! Not only is that a whole lotta wood, it’s a whole lot of mis-matched styles and types of wood, too!
Wooden Wonders we’d like to have French polished: 18. Shakin’ Stevens’ Green Door
Ah, Shaky – Wales’s answer to Elvis. Who could forget Shakin’ Stevens’ number one 1981 hit, Green Door? With its enigmatic lyrics, suggesting the door was keeping secrets and hiding behind it a smokin’ hot rock ‘n’ roll piano – why, it’s no wonder this slice of musical genius spent four weeks topping the UK charts.
Bespoke wooden furniture demands professional French polishing
In an age of mass production and disposable goods, those people who can commission bespoke wooden furniture enjoy the benefits of wood quality, craftsmanship and unique ownership. With something so precious it would be foolish not to complete the process with professional French polishing.
French polishing experts – whatever the wood type
Here at Terry Waters French Polishing, we pride ourselves on our knowledge of wood. Which is why you’ll occasionally hear us bandy about the names of wood you may never have heard of before – woods like zebrano, for example, or lacewood.
The painstaking beauty of French Polishing
Here at Terry Waters French Polishing, we’re nothing if not perfectionists. Like an animator, a traditional lace-maker or one of those artists who creates tiny sculptures in the eye of a needle, we know that if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth taking your time over.
Shellac – the natural heart of French Polishing
What do Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, a spherical ball of dung and French Polishing have in common? Answer: They’re all products of beetles!
