Bill Pyke finishing brings versatility to the project and the piece. Although he
uses today's materials which better withstand the rigours of life, he can still
deliver a traditional, classical look.
"Varnish looks nice,"
he says, "but doesn't wear well."
Photo, left: Bill was called on for his refinishing-rescue of the hutch, after sunlight damaged the original finish.
This refinishing project was for the Methodist furniture that came to the United Church on amalgmation.
From left, this set of office filing cabinets were
industrial grey-green - until Bill re-finished them a cheery yellow; after building this set of cabinets, he
finished them blue to match an existing dining room set; detail from a birch entertainment centre.
Here's detailed side views of Bill's blue cabinetry; office flooring includes the
original, as well as an invisible addition of new flooring perfectly matched to the 75 year old hardwood.
