Hank, or as I like to call him, the Wood Whisperer, is at it again. He simply couldn’t allow this beaten-up and sloppily painted piece furniture pass him by untouched. (And what was up with that color combo anyway? Blue and … muted plum? Blarf.) He figured there was incredible potential lurking beneath. And, he was right. As ushe.

May 3, 2021 at 12:04 PMDue to the pandemic I have not met Hank Tosh in person but I ADORE him—and feel so lucky to have found him. My mother–in-law passed away last year (at age 105!) and left us two pieces of furniture that she bought 75 years ago at an estate sale in Palm Beach. They were a muddy black, cracked and chipped. I wish you could see them now! They are gorgeous! Mahogany, Chippendale style with deep-carved shells and claw feet. I can’t quit looking at them, but since they have pride of place in my living room, I don’t have to. Thank you, Hank! You are truly a miracle worker.
