CARVING

DLP Restoration carve missing or broken details when undertaking architectural restoration and conservation, typically in conjunction with repair work, colouring and finishing. Individual hand-carved items such as mirror frames, chandeliers and architectural and floral adornments on furniture and interiors are constructed using Donald’s artistry and cabinet-making skills.
