This is a short discussion to introduce Professional Refinishing magazine and its goal of including in its pages everyone who works on furniture or woodwork of any age or value. What one calls oneself – Museum Conservator, Furniture Refinisher, Dip and Stripper – matters little when it comes to deciding how an object should be treated. It is the nature of the object itself and the desires of the owner that matter most. For example, a 1950s kitchen chair in a conservator’s home in not conserved like an eighteenth-century highboy, and an eighteenth-century highboy in a dip-and-stripper’s home should not be dipped and stripped. We all wear many hats and we should be communicating more. Professional Refinishing offers the best forum for doing this.
