Re-Gluing
We see re-gluing as one of the most important parts to a sound restoration service. If done wrong, poor re-gluing can lead to the destruction of a piece. While you can always re-finish a piece and replace old parts, the glue is what holds the piece together and many antique furniture never gets re-glued resulting in the piece losing its functionality. Only a small percentage of restorers reglue furniture, we are one of those brave people. Rather than inserting nails, screws and attaching fasteners which may split the wood, we use the delicate but dissimulation re-gluing strategy to put as little stress on the joints as possible.
Thank you for the wonderful work you do! The trunk I purchased from you yesterday looks wonderful in the house. It was also hard not to buy the stagecoach, will all the history they posses. Thanks again for the time and effort you clearly put into your restoration work.

Thank you for delivering my beautiful trunk! Although I was originally a little taken back by the greenish tint of the wood, it is now really growing on me and looks great in the front room with the other neutral colors.

Finding Maine Steamer Trunk Company was an unexpected and pleasant surprise for my husband and I. I have been wanting an antique trunk for many years now but, have never found one in a condition that I would want in my home. The trunk I purchased is absolutely gorgeous and will make a lovely collectible. We love it so much and think it has been so beautifully refurbished that we plan on bringing a trunk we already own to be refreshed. Such an original and thoughtful gift for somebody who loves the history of travel and enjoys having one of a kind items in their collections!

My wife and I had the great pleasure of being their first customer. Johns craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. We also learned a little something about the history of the pieces. Thanks again for a great piece that we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommended.

We love how it came out! And even though this isn’t an “heirloom” piece, we have so many memories of littles playing under the table, and rolling out pie dough when they got older. Glad you brought it back to life!
