Wood finishing pro

Hi everyone, I am renovating my house and I got all the original wood details stripped of paint (stairs, wainscoting, door frames, doors, etc). Now I have the bare wood and need someone who can finish it.

When the paint was stripped, some of the wood was in bad shape and some was not original, so some parts have been replaced with new wood. Ideally, I would want the finishing to make the new and the original look as close as possible (I know it will be impossible for them to match exactly).

So in essence I need someone who has the skills to do this. I don’t know what kind of professional does this, is it a carpenter? Or are there people that specialize in finishing only?

Any leads that you can provide I will very much appreciate.

Some pictures in case that helps are below.

i finish wood but i have too much work in house right now to take something like this on. i suspect you know this but this is not a job for one of the fly-by-night $25 an hour painters we have running around the city.

try this guy. he is a refinisher. Dean at http://www.parkslopepaintstrippers.com/

he says he is a “paint stripper” but he is a complete finisher.

tell him steve from the tinkers wagon sent you.
