Restoration
All three tables were pulled from our furniture stock and had previously been painted. I stripped the many layers of paint from each table and sanded them down. This revealed the different types of wood of each table (and the beautiful inlay on the circular table!!). I then hand-mixed Mohawk brand stain for the multiple types of wood in order to make the tables cohesive and finished with a satin sealer.

Fefu... is set in 1935 and has a character who is a wheelchair user who must be able to move around on their own. This was the most fitting wheelchair available in our prop stock, but it was old, uncomfortable, and missing footrests. It was best for me to entirely strip the chair and rebuild the seat, back, arms, and feet.

This knife was found while organizing weapon storage. It was extremely rusted and the sheath was falling apart. I cleaned the blade, cleaned and conditioned the leather, and then rebuilt the sheath.

When I pulled this table from stock, the base was broken along with one of the legs. After repairing those issues, I deep cleaned the top. I finished this piece with a design master spray paint to make this table better match the other furniture.

I assisted in cleaning and replacing several blades from our combat class weapons set. Cleaning included checking blades for rust, cleaning the leather handles, and adjusting metal parts as needed. Replacing included grinding each blade individually to fit.
