Furniture Restore & More

Furniture Restore & More, formerly known as Bernard Woodcraft, has been a dedicated purveyor of handcrafted furniture for over three decades. Our journey began with a passion for transforming visions into tangible works of art, building custom pieces to perfectly complement our clients' individual needs and aesthetics. Over time, we discovered a growing demand for the revitalization and restoration of cherished heirloom furniture. Responding to this heartfelt need, we shifted our focus to preserving the legacy of handcrafted woodworking, breathing new life into pieces that hold sentimental value for generations.

At our San Diego workshop, we meticulously restore furniture, treating each piece as if it were our own treasured possession. Whether it's a minor repair or a complete restoration, our skilled artisans bring a wealth of experience and expertise to every project. We understand that each piece of furniture carries a story, a history, and often, a connection to family legacy. Our commitment is to honor that history by preserving the integrity of the piece while returning it to its former glory.

Services Offered

Our passion for all things wood drives us to offer a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of our clientele. We specialize in repair and restoration, skillfully mending broken components, addressing structural wear, and restoring the original beauty of your furniture. From a simple chair leg repair to the intricate restoration of an antique dresser, we handle every project with meticulous care and attention to detail.

Beyond repair, we excel in refinishing and repurposing furniture, giving tired pieces a fresh new look. We can strip away layers of old varnish or paint, revealing the wood's natural beauty while applying a new finish to protect and enhance its appearance. Or, if you have a vision for a unique transformation, we can help you repurpose a piece into something entirely new, breathing fresh life into an old favorite.

If your dream involves a custom design, we bring your ideas to life. We collaborate closely with you, listening intently to your vision, and translating your desires into reality. We specialize in crafting bespoke pieces that perfectly complement your home decor, ensuring your furniture is as unique as you are. We take pride in our ability to translate your vision into a tangible reality, capturing the essence of your dreams in solid wood.

Antique Reproductions

We are also masters of replicating antique furniture, creating faithful reproductions of coveted pieces that may be unavailable or prohibitively expensive to acquire. Using traditional joinery techniques and genuine hardwoods and veneers, our reproductions are crafted with such precision and artistry that they often defy distinction from authentic antiques.
