Wood Thumb, a San Francisco-based company, creates neck ties from pieces of reclaimed wood found at barns and houses. This original take on the neck tie is quite an eye opener and beautifully realised. Called the ‘wood tie’, each example is unique since each one has its own wood colours, wood knots, nail holes and wood grain patterns, not to mention weathering history. You can view an example here.

So instead of getting your tie dry cleaned you could instead opt to have it French polished!

This may appear a light hearted suggestion for using your local French polisher, but it does reinforce the fact that your beautiful wooden objects – such as wooden furniture and wooden antiques – are instantly improved by the dedicated touch of a French polishing professional. Why not call Adam Waters today on 01827 874 535 for an informal chat with no obligation to discuss how this leading UK French polisher can bring your valuable wooden possessions back to life.

The building’s deep-set windows – which fold around the corners of walls as well as up over the concealed eaves – are covered with matching wooden slats. There are no horizontal crossbeams to interrupt the vertically striped wooden batons that clad this beautiful property.

We’ve noticed on our French polishing adventures – throughout Leicester, the East Midlands and nationally across the UK - that many of our customers have a very wood-centric taste and style, ranging from wooden floors and wood panelling to the wooden furniture and wooden objects they like to collect and surround themselves with. There are no limitations to the objects we will bring to your attention, save that they must be made predominantly of wood.

Our first wooden selection features a collection of unconventional biodegradable wooden containers made from homegrown materials by Joe Hogan. Joe is based in Loch na Fooey, Ireland, where he’s been using locally sourced biodegradable organic materials since the late 1970s – both growing his own and foraging – to create his beautiful one-of-a-kind wooden baskets.

From American Apparel and Next to Hard Rock Café and Café Rouge, our team of professional French polishers has worked with some of the retail industry’s biggest names. Because of their high traffic, retail and restaurant floors get dingy fast.  That’s where we come in. Our team of professional French polishers delivers a high quality finish that keeps floors looking great while also meeting customer expectations.

Another reason so many retailers and restaurants call us is because we can deliver a consistent finish across all their locations, which means the atmosphere of all the shops is the same.

Our team usually works around the shop’s office hours, and it’s not unusual to find us working on retail floors at midnight. It’s always great to see the look on employees’ faces when they come to work the next day and see their floors completely transformed. Some have even been convinced that we’ve put in new floors, but we haven’t, we’ve just delivered a fantastic French polish.

For more information on our French polishing services for retailers, or our other commercial services, contact our team of French polishers today.

Orange peel is most commonly found when using a high gloss finish, and it can be removed by using a fine-grit sandpaper.

At Terry Waters French Polishing, we pride ourselves on the smooth finish we deliver on our projects. So while you may find us eating oranges, or wearing orange clothing, you won’t find any orange peel in our final polish.
