My family are the former owner's of PJ Milligan. If you ask Edhat for my personal e-mail address, I could get you in touch with them and possibly give you the contact information for some of the PJ carpenters.

Purling and Weber fine painted finishes does excellent stain and faux finishes. I've hired them several times as have many of my friends.

Edhat, could someone send me the email address for 154839? And I am so sorry P J Milligan's isn't with us anymore--I really like the things we had from you!

I have a dining table from Milligan. After raising 2 boys and a husband that thinks it's a workbench, I got tired of trying to keep the wax finish up. I used mineral spirits to remove the wax, sanded it, applied a matching stain and put urethane on it. It looks just the same and now stands up to wear and tear much better. Just wanted to pass on my experience.

I too miss PJ Milligan's American made furniture. Hope you enjoy your retirement!

Wolfolk did my tables, and they did a great job.

Oh I miss PJ Milligan.

For what it's worth, I recently sanded down a table and chairs that I got from them 12 years ago. It was easy and the pine is so thick and well made it was able to handle the sanding easily. I think it took me one Sunday afternoon to sand it. It looks amazing and it was very do-able and easy.
