Pine Farm Table

Posted on by • 0 Comments

This pine farm table had been used by our customer’s family for the whole time their children were growing up.  It was scratched, dented, wobbly, and in bad need of refinishing. There was a very rustic feel to the table the customer wanted to keep with many dips and hills in the planks. Carefully cleaning…… Continue Reading

Mahogany Desk

Posted on by • 0 Comments

A common theme for us is restoring pieces with great sentimental value for customers.  This mahogany desk belonged to our customer’s husband.  After he passed, she kept it, but wanted it restored.  Having been used for many years, there was minor scuffing and scratching along the sides and top, and a few sticky drawers. As…… Continue Reading

Rustic Pine Cabinet

Posted on by • 0 Comments

This rustic pine cabinet was a beloved piece to a customer.  Over the years, it had become a bit battered and outdated, but she simply couldn’t part with it.  She brought it to us and asked for an update and some repairs. After some small repairs and matching some pieces that had gone missing during…… Continue Reading

Upcycled Dining Table

Posted on by • 0 Comments

A customer approached us with their antique mahogany dining table, a piece which had been in the family for awhile and come to them.  The style didn’t fit any of their rooms, but they hated the idea of selling or discarding it.  They asked us to restore it and voiced their concerns about it finding…… Continue Reading

Antique Side Table

Posted on by • 0 Comments

One of the biggest joys of being a woodworker is bringing an antique or unloved piece back to its proper glory and beauty.  Many of these pieces come from our clients, but others are those we get to truly rescue. This 14″ round side table is a prime example.  We rescued this at a yard…… Continue Reading

A/V Table

  In April 2015, a local Charter School contacted us and asked us to create a table for their AV room for sound and lighting purposes.  Created from maple, designed to be sturdy and durable, yet still have aesthetic appeal, we went with a modern feel – clean lines, natural finish, and a little artistic…… Continue Reading

Mantel Shelf

As a woodworker, it’s hard to turn down the offer of free timber, especially when it’s a “You haul” situation…after attending a woodworking show, and chatting with various vendors about their products, I was thrilled when one vendor asked if I’d like the timbers he’d produced demonstrating his tools, as long as I could haul…… Continue Reading

Deacons’ Bench

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Another piece we rescued and restored, this beautiful Deacons’ Bench came to us with a broken leg, missing support rung, and was sadly neglected.  We were able to replace the support rung, repaired the leg, cleaned and sanded the entire piece (which had been painted white), then refinished it with the Java stain and satin…… Continue Reading

Modern Floating Shelves

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Most of our clients have seen and fallen in love with a particular piece – the lines, the colors, the overall feel of a piece, only to find its out of their budget, or it won’t fit their space.  When this happens, most people will settle on what does work for their space and wallet…but…… Continue Reading

Customer Reviews

Customer Review (Howard & Joan H., Lakewood, CO) - 

"The most important reason to work with ZCD was that I saw the before and after pictures of the restoration job you did on that antique bench. I have seen period furniture and you restored it to an original new condition. That combined with the quality I saw in your new furniture ventures convinced me that you were a great craftsman and you also had the discipline to keep antiques as antiques and restore them to their former beauty and not try to modernize them."

"What Joan and I and our kids saw was a much loved family heirloom which was given to you (ZCD) in a beat up and broken condition restored to its former beauty and usefulness as we remembered it. You even used square nails which Joan loved. Your restoration will provide our family with many more years and perhaps generations of enjoyment of the marble top chest/cabinet."

"You are a great craftsman who is both creative for new designs and yet has the self-discipline to channel that creativity into carefully restoring antiques to their original glory. So if you have a project new or old, Chris can handle it."

Customer Review (Gary & Linda M., Longmont, CO) - 

"ZCD was referred from our daughter in-law.  Chris did a good design for our custom table at a reasonable price."

"A very well built and attractive dining table, and it will last for many years."

"We highly recommend Chris.  His work is first rate and you get a one of a kind piece that meets your specification, instead of a store-bought compromise."
