Parker Woodworks is a traditional furniture restoration firm that specializes in repair, restoration, and refinishing of fine and antique furniture. Our techniques are based on one hundred plus years of combined woodworking and joinery experience. Our technicians have experience in all phases of fine furniture design, construction, repair to fire and water damaged furniture, and restoration as well as all phases of the finishing process.
Upon recieving your heirloom pieces, we scrutinize the furniture to determine the exact course of action we will take. It may need stripping, or not. Maybe it needs reglueing, major or minor repairs, or just conservation. Our first priority on antiques is to preserve their value by completing only the most necessary work.

Below you will find a collection of pieces that we restored after hurricane Katrina. These pieces represent the worst condition of any furniture that has come through our shop. Please take time to view all of the images as they show the quality of work put into each piece to complete the restoration process.
Parker Tables are constructed using only the finest available materials. We incorporate traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon, tongue and groove, and floating tops. Our craftsmen take pride in creating reproductions of fine Louisiana French, Cypress and Creole Tables and furniture. These time tested techniques insure only the finest quality furniture with guarantees that they will remain defect free.
I have just returned from New Orleans and I plan on writing a more detailed update soon. However I needed to write about one aspect of this year long process now. If any of you ever have the need to have furniture restored or refinished you can trust and depend on George Parker in Lafayette, Louisiana.

I had an antique piano chair repaired / refinished by these great people. I can not express how perfect it turned out. It has a lift / lower mechanism. They not only made the mechanism work perfectly but restored the chair to perfection. I highly recommend them for any furniture restoration anyone may have.
