Restoration Of A Mahogany Mantel(soda Blast)


Had a customer ask me to freshen up a old hand carved mahogany mantel. This was a beautiful piece. All hand carved flowers in a piece of solid stock that must have been 5-6" thick to start. well over a 100 years old. It was going to be the centerpiece in a new addition.

after I was finished blasting the GC finish sanded it and sealed it leaving the natural color.
