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."
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.
