          Bernard has been restoring antiques for over 40 years. He loves building, repairing, and experimenting with finishes and has passed this love of antiques down to his children--two of whom work full time at Mumford Restoration! If you have a question about what kind of wood your furniture is made of, what the style is, and when it was made, Bernard's the person to ask! He has a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of furniture and he's always happy to chat with curious antique owners!
