Restoration consists of doing structural and cosmetic repairs, such as veneer patching, followed by cleaning, abrading, and padding shellac or lacquer onto the existing finish. Refinishing consists of removing the existing finish by hand applying a chemical stripper, sanding the wood, applying a stain and applying a new finish.
