 Gregory Stoddard began
his love affair with
beautiful wood in 1966
when he had the good
fortune to begin an
apprenticeship with one of
America's leading antique
restorers. In the years that
followed Mr. Stoddard
developed a great
appreciation for “the
beautiful smooth surfaces,
deep colors and rich patina”
which are characteristic
of quality antique
wooden furniture.
Today Gregory Stoddard
works with fine Honduras
mahogany and hand mixed
aniline dyes to replicate the
colors and the patina of fine
antiques. Each Stoddard
work is finished with a
Eurolux varnish system of “between eight and twelve
coats” with the gloss level
of the final coats determined
by the period of the
piece. High gloss finishes
are more appropriate for
formal pieces while matte
Eurothane is Stoddard's
choice for a primitive
“country” look.
 Long term client Gregory Stoddard indicates that "I
have experimented with virtually every varnish
formulation on the market today and concluded that
only Eurothane varnish from Fine Paints Of Europe
will allow me to replicate the beauty of a century
year old piece while providing a durable, easily
maintained finish."
