Where a furniture restorer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a furniture restorer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

They use old or modern tools and techniques to restore the piece and give advice to customers as to the restoration, conservation and maintenance of such objects.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a furniture restorer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
