Various Restoration projects

This section and the images within show the variety of restoration projects that are undertaken by Furst Woodworking.

Plaster and cement capitals that are in need of repair, wooden capitals that need new rosettes carved, column bases in need of being recreated (mostly due to dry rot), moldings, handrails and newels needing to be reproduced to expand a porch. New balusters needing to be recreated to replace damaged ones or to expand a current handrail to meet new building codes.

Furst woodworking is your source for hard (or impossible to obtain) architectural parts that are an EXACT match to the existing items. In the event of existing architectural details not being available, Furst woodworking has an extensive historical library that can locate historically accurate architectural details for use to reproduce.

Custom Guitar

This custom 6 string headless, fretless “flying V” shaped base guitar with a through the body neck.

The guitar has two sets of EMC pickups, and a 24k gold plated head and bridge set.

The guitar body is made of Bocote with a Rock Maple laminated neck. The fingerboard of the neck is 3/16″ black Ebony with a mother of pearl inlay. The design is based on an Art Nouveau design. The “Napoleon” inlay name in Art Nouveau letters was the nickname of the guitar player.

Due to the nature of the dense hardwoods of the guitar, the sound was absolutely phenomenal, unfortunately, the dense woods also made for a very heave guitar.
