A restoration carpenter mostly work in historic building restoration. Restoration is the process of accurately depicting the form, feature and character of a property as it appeared at a particular period of time. Restoration includes preservation, leaving as much materials untouched as possible, reconstruction to replace missing elements and repair work to bring the building to a historically accurate condition as it was at one period in time. This may include removing some elements to make the building as it once was before.
Furniture restoration involves tackling any aspect of work that's required to get an old dresser or chair as close to its original condition as possible. Often it's more than just a facelift, its making the item usable again and possibly even adding value. However its important to remember that a small side project can turn into a time consuming one. Some projects may just need a few simple fixes which you can quickly complete, others may be more involved and could wind up costing you more than you intended to spend.
