Wood is a beautiful, sturdy material, but nothing lasts forever. Over time, it dries out, wears down and deteriorates. It can also have water stains, scratches, and other things that tarnish the appearance and make it appear less presentable. When wood dries, look less attractive is only the beginning. It dries first from the outside, causing it to shrink and put pressure on the center. That pressure leads to it becoming misshapen and form cracks on the surface. In some cases, those cracks can rupture deep enough that they do real damage. If it happens to be a surface you walk over, the splinters that form as the wood splits can stick up and be dangerous, too.

Restoring the wood means cleaning out any dirt, debris, or organic contaminants that have gathered deep in the crevices. Then, repair or replace any damaged portion, sand to get rid of any old finish and scratches, and then cover the entire piece with a new finish to make it look brand-new. Of course, if it isn't done correctly, it could severely damage the surface, which is why a professional should handle the work. Whether the project is a single piece of outdoor furniture like a table or bench or a larger area like a fence or deck, an expert will be able to restore the entire area to its former glory. Wood restoration also includes steps to make sure it is kept pristine moving forward. An oil coat will lock in the moisture, so it doesn't dry out and need to be restored all over again and provides a hard, level surface that serves as a protective barrier. A finishing coat with a high-grade sealant will preserve the look.

Understanding the properties of wood, you're working with is imperative since different types react to certain substances. Some get blemishes easily, for instance, so the cleaning process mustn't give you more stains than you started. Certain types of hardwood like maple and pine can change color with certain chemicals, so it has to be pre-conditioned before it is stained if you want to keep the original look. Others, like mahogany and oak, are quite porous, so they have to be filled before refinishing, which is a time consuming and complicated process.
