Don has done repairs and one refinishing job on several of my antique pieces. He is very professional, timely and gifted with his work on these treasures.

It’s a hike to get to Don’s shop, but the work he does is worth the effort. We had a bedside cabinet that I had ruined with a leaky CPAP machine and a gate leg table that lost a gate. Don and his apprentices repaired both to better than new condition. If you have fine, real wood furniture, Don is your man. The pricing seems a bit high…until you see the results. Then you realize the cost is almost a bargain!

Excellent service and an outstanding refinishing of the antique table.

I can't recommend Old Virginia Woodworking enough! Quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and excellent customer service! I am renovating an old 1904 schoolhouse, and wanted a telephone niche made, like the old Sears Roebuck houses had. I talked with Don, sent some pictures of what I was looking for, he came up with the design, and the finished product is gorgeous! Just what I was looking for! I am thrilled with the finished niche! Don takes the art of woodworking very seriously, and his work is flawless! Highly recommend!

Don did a wonderful job on an old antique Brunswick phonograph cabinet. There was some wooden shelves and supports that needed to be rebuilt and at 100+ years old it needed a little refinishing. The color came out great and it was a joy talking with him about the project.

Don was very accommodating and did a great job refinishing our buffet table. The job was done in the time frame quoted.

I trusted Don with two very special items in my household. The first being a walnut desk that my dad made in his high school shop class (1970) that had been totally wrecked in a recent move. The movers somehow put about 10 screw holes into the top of the desk, scraping it terribly and losing some piece that allows the drawers to be affixed to the top. Don made it so that you cant even tell there were bug ragged screw holes in top and i think the desk is even more structurally sound than ever! The finish is buttery smooth but Don was sure to leave the markings on the bottom that my dad made while building this piece 50 years ago. The second item was an antique wall clock (c. 1890s) that has been in the family for atleast 3 generations. The clock lived in attics and closets and storage for the last 30 years and was in rough shape. Don made it look period-authentic and fresh, fixing the face and resetting it, hydrating and refinishing the cabinet, cleaning the face and repainting the hands and even ordering and installing a new glass for the face. My dad was incredibly touched to see both pieces and was incredibly impressed with the work. Don is a master at his craft and I will definitely be using his services again!
