EXAMPLES OF CUSTOM FURNITURE FINISHED 

BY CHRISTIAN DARDONVILLE

(Click on pictures to enlarge)

Before and after refinishing bird's eye maple cabinets 

In the first picture, the color of the bird's eye maple cabinets and of the lower panels over the range (all done recently by a local cabinet-maker) clearly do not match the darker upper panels. The second picture shows the panels and cabinets refinished by Christian. There is no longer any difference in color.
